Reencounter (part 02)

Brayan's point of view:

My cousin was causing trouble again and was about to reprimand her when she overheard the boy at the other table talking to a girl accompanying him. "I'm sorry Elora, ignore her words, I better than anyone else know of your capabilities and rest assured that you will pass the tests"

When I heard that name, it was like lightning struck my head, I looked away from Maely and looked toward the other table.

When I recognized that dark-haired figure I couldn't help but exclaim. "Elora!?"

The girl heard me call her and our gazes met, it was those same eyes, black and shiny eyes, silky hair, beautiful as an immortal being.

"You!" I heard her gasp as she stared at me. "What are you doing here?"

"*laughs* Long time to see you, how are you? And to answer your question, my family lives in the capital, my mother and I were in the village visiting my paternal grandparents, we bought a small house there so we could travel every year without worrying with a place to stay" I was happy to see Elora, that girl who appeared as suddenly as she left.

"Oh!" I heard her mutter under her breath. "Sorry to leave unannounced, I was in a hurry to get to Marva, I'm doing fine and you?" She asked after hesitating a bit, not wanting to meet my gaze.

"I'm fine and you don't need to worry, we don't blame you for leaving so suddenly, we can understand" I nodded my head as I continued. "Will you take the Royal Academy entrance exams?"

"Yes, I plan to take the tests, what about you?"

"I'll just do it as a formality, I already have a place reserved"

"*mumble* Just nonsense of the nobles" I heard the boy beside Elora mutter, which I ignored.

"Good luck on the Elora test" I said as I stood up "I have to go, can we talk another day?"

"Of course, I'm helping here at the restaurant, if you want to talk you can come find me" Somehow I thought Elora had just said that out of politeness, even so, I thanked her politely. "Sure, see you"

"See you soon" After saying goodbye to her I grabbed Maely by the arm and left the restaurant without looking back, this reunion was unexpected but inside I was happy, Elora was still a mystery to me, which caught my attention, however, when at the same time I felt that getting too involved with her would be dangerous, which I couldn't understand, it didn't make sense.

After walking for about ten minutes I turned my gaze to Maely and scolded her. "Never again, listen well, never make a fuss again, don't tarnish the Mordha family name!" I eyed her coldly before turning and continuing to walk.

"Y- Yes cousin, I- I won't embarrass our fa- family" I heard her stutter behind me and, not caring, I just ignored her the rest of the way until we reached the noble zone, we continued for a few blocks until we sighted a mansion in the region closest to the royal family, the mansion was painted a sky blue with its gates, doors and windows in golden color, it was a traditional two storey house, just by looking at it we could feel the magnificence that was transmitted.

"Young master, you are back!" I heard a female voice as I passed the mansion's gates, stopped and turned to return the maid's greeting. "Yes, I'm back" I waved at her and walked back to the mansion. Looking at the entrance, lost in thought, I muttered to myself. "Looks like the Academy will be more interesting than I expected"
