Ana brought Ruby and the unconscious Remus to the rear section of the Monarch Palace. The architecture here possessed an old-world charm, remarkably different from the prevailing traditional buildings seen in Darsia.
The buildings here appeared more ancient, more textured, and grander in scale. Walking through this place felt like stepping back thousands of years.
In the center lay a square paved with bluestones, surrounded by old-fashioned pavilions on the sides.
The square was filled with numerous people. Some practiced martial arts, others engaged in casual conversations, and a few engrossed in reading. All these people belonged to the Walters, with a few representatives from the Schneiders and the Cunninghams.
“Gosh, that wild chicken is enormous!”
“Is that person on the chicken’s back the Cosbys?”
“He looks like he’s just been through a fierce battle!”
The crowd buzzed with discussions as they all knew Ana had set off for Darsia in search of the Cosbys, but they were unaware of everything that had occurred at sea.
“Ms. Walter, welcome back. Is favonovel.com the Cosbys?” A young man in a long robe approached, his face adorned with a wide smile that held a hint of eagerness to please.
Ana nodded slightly. “Yes… Shawn, could you go get some medicine and a few supplements?”
He was Shawn Cunningham, the grandson of Philbert. As Philbert represented the Cunninghams on Monarch Island, Shawn followed suit and came along. However, his main reason for being here was actually because of Ana.
Shawn patted his chest and said, “No problem, I’ll go right away. Where does favonovel.com live? I’ll head there directly in a bit.”
Ana halted in favonovel.com tracks, realizing favonovel.com hadn’t considered this question.
All four families had their residences on Monarch Island, including the Cosby family. Whenever the Cosby family hosted young members in need of martial training, they stayed at the Cosby family’s dwelling. Rafael had also stayed there before.
However, by the time of Remus’ grandfather, the Cosbys had become a single lineage, leaving Rafael profoundly isolated. Their absence for two decades had left the Cosby family residence in ruins, making it uninhabitable.
Ana paused briefly, then suggested, “Could you have it sent to my room later, please?”
Shawn was startled as Ana spoke, almost as if pricked by a needle. He asked in astonishment, “What? Do you mean he’s staying in your room?”
His words echoed across the entire square, and suddenly, the atmosphere quieted down.
Everyone seemed to be looking as if they had uncovered some secret.
Ana’s face flushed red, showing disdain at the need for an explanation. She gritted favonovel.com teeth and affirmed, “Yes!”
After favonovel.com finished speaking, favonovel.com quickly strode forward.
But after taking a couple of steps, favonovel.com halted, turned around, and said, “Shawn, I’ll say it again, I’ve always regarded you as a little brother. Our relationship is strictly sibling-like, nothing more!”
After favonovel.com finished speaking, favonovel.com departed again, leaving Shawn standing there dumbfounded, while the plaza erupted in commotion.
“Wait, the Cosbys moved right into Ana’s room? What’s going on between them?”
“Ms. Walter has always presented herself elegantly. I thought favonovel.com was more conservative, I never expected them to live together!”
“The Cosbys are indeed different. Men can be deceivers, just like when Cheryl was deceived by Rafael back then.”
Their words were cut short as an overwhelming force suddenly emanated throughout the entire square, an enormous pressure that felt like the skies crumbling.
Everyone quickly fell silent, trembling in fear, and the intimidating pressure vanished.
***
Ana’s room was spacious, adorned with antique decorations, and carried a faint, delicate feminine fragrance in the air.
Remus lay on the bed, still unconscious.
Ana sat nearby with a bowl of medicine, gently administering it while favonovel.com gaze grew slightly complex. Despite their brief interaction, Remus’ image had shifted in favonovel.com mind several times.
