章節 282: On the raft

Theo's POV: 

"Ivory..?!" the little me whispered her name. "Your name is different—and pretty—"

The little girl smiled at me for the third time, and I felt something strange in my heart. What am I feeling? This has not happened to me before. I immediately turned my gaze away from her in fear and looked at the deep blue ocean before me. 

"Are you scared of me?" the little girl asked. 

I chuckled nervously. "Sacred?! Me? Not at all!"

"Then why are you not seeing my face?"

Oh my! This girl might look pretty, but she is also dangerous. I can't deal with this girl anymore. It is better to go back to my room and sleep instead. I turned my back to her and was about to walk towards the bright sapphire crystal castle that was not sparking under the moonlight. 

"So you don't want to cross the sea?" the girl said and stopped me.
