The little girl had green eyes, and she was wearing a green hairband, like the color of newborn saplings.
She didn’t seem scared at all after being knocked out just a moment ago. Instead, she sat up casually and looked around the area with great curiosity.
She saw glittering decorations in a brightly-lit castle hall. Everything was big, and she was curious.
“What are you looking for?”
The girl looked up at the “giant” sitting at the other end of the table. “Are you talking to me?”
Angor nodded.
“Oh, I like your voice. It reminds me of the small stream flowing in the morning wind. Gentle and clear.”
“Lady Fiona it is! So, she’s your wife, mister? Oh, you two must be so happy!”
Shadow didn’t seem shameful at all. “Of course. She always sticks close to me all day, and at night we get to bed and—”
Angor snapped his fingers, and Shadow suddenly lost his voice.
The man didn’t find anything wrong with his throat. Rather, he “forgot” how to make sounds.
Shadow touched himself quickly and found a small trace of aura lurking around his eyebrows. When he tried to chase it away, Angor moved a hand again and ordered the aura to return into the Nightmare Domain.
“Don’t start fooling yourself with those lies.”
“Well, we gotta pretend to the fullest,” Shadow said with a grin. He then turned to the small lady again. “So the Citadel will send someone again soon?”
The girl nodded innocently.
When looking at the green figure sided with white cream milk, Angor somewhat got a feeling that everything was looking tasty.
“Yes. The grand ceremony was the day after tomorrow.” The girl suddenly looked confused and asked, “Hey, Hat Uncle, why did they suddenly change the schedule?”
Hat Uncle?
Angor exchanged a puzzled look with Shadow. Angor already removed his top hat, so the girl had to be referring to Shadow now.
Shadow took off his wide-brimmed hat. “Do I look ‘uncle’-ish to you? Come on, call me big brother.”
“Oh, um, Brother Hat?”
“Okay fine, enough with the hat stuff. Call me Diablo,” Shadow said. He then looked at Angor and said, “That’s my real name. Won’t you introduce yourself too?”
Angor glanced at Shadow before he spoke to the girl, “I’m Angor. What’s your name?”
“Angor, huh?” Shadow searched his mind and didn’t find anything he needed.
The little girl licked her lips clean. She then used a small handkerchief and did a curtsy. “I’m Papaya from Seedling Village, kind sirs from Citadel.”
“So, the Citadel changed the date for the ritual?” Shadow asked.
“Yes. I was planning to take it easy, but they just moved the date two months earlier. That’s why my granny asked me to practice early in the morning. Why did you do that, Brother Diablo?”
“Oh, it should be a secret. You’ll see soon enough,” Shadow said. He then quickly changed the topic. “Your grandma asked you to sing so that you can make a show during the ritual?”
Papaya looked both timid and proud. “Right! The choir chose me. I’ll leave for Hippocrotee tomorrow. I never thought I’ll actually meet someone from Citadel today. Are you the one choosing singers for Sky Choir, Diablo?”
