Chapter 1313: Chapter 886: Are You Eating Alone?_2 Chapter 1313: Chapter 886: Are You Eating Alone?_2 Thankfully, there were no enemies in sight, only Enisphia and Teerdi standing in front of me, dazed as if they had lost their souls.

“Your Highness Anisphere? Miss Teerdi? What happened to you?”

Although surprised, Yuriya still cautiously asked. Hearing her voice, the two of them shuddered simultaneously, as though awakening from a deep dream, and turned to look at Yuriya.

“Miss Yuriya, come and see…”

“What’s the matter? What is this?”

Yuriya approached Enisphia, puzzled by her strange expression, and looked ahead—-and then she, too, was struck dumb.

Before Yuriya stood a resplendently golden corridor, so towering that the high, arched dome and the exquisite carvings around it added a solemn and profound atmosphere. For a moment, even Yuriya was shocked into stillness, and it felt as if even her breath involuntarily halted, as though she was standing in a most sacred temple where even a single breath might desecrate the sanctity of the place.

“Miss Yuriya?”

It wasn’t until Enisphia’s voice reached her that Yuriya snapped back from her previous inexplicable shock. Otherwise, she didn’t even know how long she might have stayed transfixed!

“What… what is going on? Your Highness Anisphere? Weren’t we entering the Great Judge’s tent?”

“I thought so too…”

Enisphia nodded in agreement to Yuriya’s astonished expression, indeed she and Teerdi had been wearing the same expression just before—-even suspecting they were dreaming.

“But this must be related to the Great Judge.”

Teerdi pointed towards the corridor with a somewhat calmer demeanor.

“Look at that Skull Head, no one would place such a thing out in the open so prominently.”

“That is true….”

Seeing the giant skulls carved on both sides of the corridor, Yuriya regained her composure. The Tribunal’s skull symbol and its meaning had been explained to them by Duanmu Huai, and to be honest, the girls still could not fathom the notion that “the skull represents the purity and sacredness of humans,” but at least its presence here indicated that this place must be related to Duanmu Huai.

“So… what do we do now?”

“What to do? Of course we go in and have a look!”

At that moment, Enisphia was once again overcome by her fearless spirit, excitedly stepping forward and walking inside, with Teerdi following closely behind. Yuriya wanted to call out to them to stop, but upon reflection, she found herself helplessly following the two deeper into the corridor.

All the doors along the corridor were tightly shut, and although Enisphia was somewhat lively, she had enough sense of decorum to knock on the doors. Finding no response, she gave up.

However, when they reached the end, the door before them was ajar.

Even from inside the room, faint traces of music could be heard.

“Sir Judge must be here!”

At the sound, Enisphia rushed forward excitedly and knocked.

“Sir Judge, are you there?”

“………”
No one?

“Sorry for disturbing you.”

Since the door wasn’t closed, Enisphia, out of curiosity, peered inside and then cautiously stepped in.

And then…

“Wow…… it’s so beautiful……”
Upon seeing the room before her, Enisphia’s eyes lit up.

The opulent chamber held a sofa that appeared soft and luxurious, a fireplace blazing with flames, lavish bookshelves on either side, and some strange objects they had never seen before. The music seemed to come from all directions, its precise source indiscernible.

“This place really is……”
Enisphia’s eyes sparkled, looking around at everything, unable to take it all in at once. So many things in here she had never seen before, even the books in those bookshelves appeared extremely valuable… What exactly was this place?

Not to mention the dome ceiling made of glass windows, through which they could see the stars sparkling in the night sky outside, so romantic and luxurious indeed!

“Teerdi, Yuriya, come quick and look!”

Enisphia turned around, waving at the two who were still at the doorway.

“Come in, this place is truly amazing… What’s wrong with you?”

But at that moment, Enisphia saw Teerdi and Yuriya’s expressions go from white to red, then to blue, standing there motionless. This made her suddenly think of something, and subconsciously, she turned her head to look behind her. Then, Enisphia saw Duanmu Huai, with only a towel wrapped around his waist, appearing behind her at some unknown time. His muscles were reflecting a faint glow, and even Enisphia could see……
Right at that moment, suddenly a shadow flashed before Enisphia’s eyes.

“Smack!”

The next moment, her face was struck hard by something.

And then………
“Waaahhhhhhhhh!!!”

The piercing scream almost broke through the heavens.

After a while, Duanmu Huai, now dressed back in armor, appeared in front of the three girls. They were sitting far away from Duanmu Huai on a sofa on the other side, with even Enisphia having red-rimmed eyes, looking as if she had been wronged.

“Why are you looking at me? I haven’t even started on you casually entering my home.”

Duanmu Huai sat on the couch, glaring at them unhappily, and they hurriedly bowed their heads.

“We are so sorry, Great Judge…”

Yuriya’s face was so red it nearly bled, and even the usually sarcastic Teerdi was at a loss for words– joking aside, this was the first time she had seen anything as thick as an arm… Is this guy really human? He couldn’t possibly be some Demon Beast like Yuriya thought, could he?

As for Enisphia, she was covering her face, sitting on the couch unable to even glance at Duanmu Huai. Just moments ago, her entire worldview had almost been turned upside down!

When had she ever seen such a sight!

“Well then, tell me, why have you come?”

“It’s nothing, we just wanted to see where you lived, to see if you’re getting accustomed to it……”
Enisphia explained in a low voice, then her expression slowly changed. Afterwards, Enisphia looked around her and then, as if awakening from a dream, looked towards Duanmu Huai.

“Is this… magic?”

“Magical Items.”

Duanmu Huai waved his hand, which surprised Enisphia even more.

“Magical Items can do this sort of thing?”

“Heh heh.”

Hearing Enisphia’s retort, Duanmu Huai chuckled and looked towards Yuriya.

“Magic can’t do it, can it?”

“…….”

Yuriya silently shook her head.

So Duanmu Huai looked back at Enisphia.

“Nor can your items, can they?”

“……..”

Enisphia shook her head with an ugly expression, and then Duanmu Huai leaned back.

“So you still have a long way to go.”

“……”

Listening to Duanmu Huai’s smugness, Enisphia was truly… so frustrated!!

But wait a minute!

Regaining her composure, Enisphia suddenly thought of a problem.

Does that mean, while they have been enduring the wind and sun during this period, sleeping on hard pallets at night, and having to ask Yuriya to help wipe their bodies using water magic for a bath, that Duanmu Huai has actually been enjoying this comfortable house all by himself?

Thinking of this, Enisphia instantly felt annoyed.

“Are you hogging it all to yourself?”
