章 114: 114: Wizardry

Val turned to Eliana, his face serious, "I have some business with Oliver. I won't be able to accompany you back home today." Saying so, he handed the keys to her.

Eliana gave him a warm smile, her eyes understanding. "That's fine, Val. Don't worry about me, focus on what you need to do."

Val sighed, relieved at her understanding, "Remember to hang the amulet inside the house when you get home. Although the sun is still up in the sky, it's always better to be safe than sorry."

She chuckled lightly at his concern, the warm feeling spreading through her heart. It was nice to see him worry about her. "I will, don't worry."

Then, as if remembering something, she added, "Actually, I won't be going home right away either. I have something else to do."

"What is it?" Val asked, his eyebrows raised in curiosity.
