Neo apologized.
"Had I known about it, I would've revived after—"
"I told you it is a misunderstanding!" frёeωebɳovel.com
Amelia stood up and moved away.
She couldn't decide if she should feel insulted, angry, or embarrassed.
"Your clothes were ruined. I didn't want to leave you looking like that and you were taking too long to revive, so I decide to… to…"
"Sneak a peek?"
"No! As I said, it's a misunderstanding! I wasn't doing anything wrong!"
Amelia's ears turned beet red.
Her reactions were funny.
He wanted to tease her more but he felt windy down there.
Neo looked at his clothes.
Calling them ruined was underplaying it.
After Clara gave him a beating, his clothes had more holes than a pampered kid's wallet.
"I'll take the clothes you prepared," He said. "Thanks."
He changed into the new set of attire prepared by Amelia.
While he was changing, Amelia turned away.
"Uh, so, thank you for helping us," she spoke solemnly.
"Don't mind it. I didn't do it for free."
Silence descended.
Both of them said nothing.
Neo was trying to think of his future plans.
He didn't bother initiating a conversation.
The quietness bothered Amelia and she spoke,
"Are you really Immortal?"
"Yes."
"Is that even possible? We were taught something else at the Academy."
"Hmm?"
Only now did Neo remember Amelia was a 2nd year at Demigod Academy.
In the novel, she left the academy since she had to take over the throne after her mother's death.
"Demigod Academy?"
"Yeah. The professors taught us things about the Great Death God, Hades. He didn't seem to be a god who'd let even his children cheat Death."
Things, huh.
Neo didn't bother asking about details.
He knew exactly how Hades was treated among the demigods and Gods.
They feared his powers, and no one truly respected him.
The only reason Hades was one of the Three Great Gods was due to his overwhelming strength.
"You are awake."
"Mom!"
Elizabeth returned.
She stared at Neo silently.
He returned her gaze.
"Why are you two looking at each other like that?"
Amelia stepped in-between them.
"Nothing," Elizabeth answered. "We should go. I've completed the preparations."
She gave a bag to Amelia.
The three moved down from the hill and went into the direction of the beach.
They travelled through forests by foot to make sure no one found them.
It took them a few hours to reach their destination.
Both Elizabeth and Neo were exhausted by the end.
"Should we rest?" Amelia asked. "We haven't had dinner yet too."
"We can take a break later. Let's eat while we are moving," Neo spoke.
Elizabeth agreed with him.
She whistled after standing at the seashore.
