Chapter 118: 118: Clues


Lysander gulped. His eyes on Eden’s finger that brushed through his lips.


He felt himself aroused by the mere touch. And tried not to get.


Eden smiled, satisfied with himself as he stepped backwards. He turned and then went to continue his search.


"So it’s nothing grand. It’s just making love to the person you like. Unless you want me to really show you in detail"


"No..." Lysander flushed "I’m fine..."


Eden smiled, his hands on the shelves "But why are you asking? Do you also like a guy?"


Lysander blinked "No..." he shocked his head "I was just... just curious"


He was battling with his inner spirits.


Eden smiled "Is that so?"


"And don’t worry..." Lysander chipped in "I won’t let anyone talk down on you for .. liking men. I’ll protect you" He assured Eden who didn’t seem to ask for his protection though.


"Is that so? Then Thanks in advance" Eden was still searching through the files.


While Lysander stood there, staring at Eden. His heart was still fluttering and his mind was still replaying all that Eden said and did.


He was battling with his mind. Battling to keep off thoughts he didn’t wish to entertain. Thoughts that still bothered him nevertheless.


*******


Eden took his time going through files in the huge library for the day. And soon the day was over.


He had gone through the titles of almost all books there. And had discovered something at least.


He discovered that the year he was looking for was strangely not there.


All the books and documents relating to the Grand Duchy of Enor all stopped at a certain year. As though someone had intentionally removed the remaining years downwards.


Eden found it suspicious. The years were missing and he knew it wasn’t just a mere coincidence. He knew someone had removed it.


And he didn’t think it was anywhere here at all.


"I’m done for the day, let’s go" Eden said to Lysander who was strolling around the Library. He was going through some titles.


"Oh. Is that so? Let’s go.." Lysander nodded.


Soon both of them left the library and left the guards to continue guarding it.


********


Eden returned to his chamber and sunk into the bed, exhausted.


He had spent almost the whole day searching through endless book title for something. And at the end of the day he didn’t seem to get anything important.


He was frustrated by the thought while he wondered if he could even possibly find anything at this pace.


"He’d just have to come and get my head now because I don’t know if I can get anything by then" He thought.


Lenny stared at him "You didn’t find anything at the Grand Duchy of Enor section?"


"No. I even looked through the library. Still nothing" Eden informed.


"That’s odd" Lenny thought.


At that moment, Eden recalled something as he sat up "But I did realise something suspicious"


"What?"


"The other years..." Eden said explaining how the years from a particular year downward were missing.


"I couldn’t find any files from twenty years and below... Nothing at all. It’s like someone took them all away from the library" He explained.


Lenny thought "Then someone took them away"


"Huh?"


"It makes sense. Since it’s something that they don’t want someone to go through and potentially find anything from it, it only makes sense that they’d want to hide it off. They wouldn’t keep it in such an open library, would they?"


Eden nodded "I thought as much. Which only means that they took out the important ones. Which means we only have to find out where they kept it.. and maybe we’ll find something.."


Eden now ran his hands through his nonexistent mustache "Now the question is, where the hell could they have kept it .."


The two of them thought for a while as Lenny suggested "I think I know"


"Where?"


"Where do you think they could keep such important secretive documents..?" Lenny asked.


Eden thought "Under the king’s bed?"


Lenny blinked "And why the hell would they put it there?"


Eden shrugged "I don’t know, but it sounded about right to me"


Lenny sighed "No. Not at all. Obviously they put it in a more confidential library or something. Something that can’t be easily accessed"


Eden now nodded "Oh. That makes sense. This library is a more open library so they won’t leave anything confidential there. So they probably took it to the VVIP library or something like that"


Lenny nodded "Exactly. Now we’ll have to find a way to gain access there if we wish to find the remaining years and get something important at least"


Eden fell back in bed as he ran a hand through his hair "Gosh, this would have been much more easier if that Mage jerk was here. I could use my powers!"


"You almost raped him. The poor boy is probably still frightened and hiding somewhere now" Lenny joked.


"Raped what? He was clearly also enjoying it. That brat. He clearly likes men too" Eden blabbed.


"Whatever. But he’s clearly avoiding you like a plague now" Eden reminded.


"Having my powers would have made this a lot easier"


"Now you don’t have it. So think of something else" Lenny said.


Eden thought for awhile "Maybe I can have Elvis help me with it?"


"Help you? Do you think he’ll help you get into a VIP Library like that? He’ll clearly be suspicious of you and would never let you into such a place" Lenny informed.


"I know. But if I can be careful with my words and indirectly ask him about him. I could possibly trick him into telling me something" Eden was optimistic.


"Okay then. Good luck with your plan. But make sure not to have him jail you out of suspicion" Lenny reminded.


"And why would he do that?"


Lenny shrugged.


"Beside.." Eden added "I don’t have much time left. So I have to take any chances I can now" He said. "And that involves getting him to help me out"
