---- Chapter 2589 Andrew was jolted awake by a series of loud knocks on his door. When he opened it, he found Luna, Sheena, and Valerie standing outside. Valerie gave him a long look, as if trying to figure out where he had been earlier. Sheena''s expression was odd as she asked, "Did you all feel that tremor just now?" Luna nodded. "Yeah, it came from the woods behind Swordhaven Keep." Valerie crossed her arms. "I went over to check the moment I heard it, but the guards stopped me. Turns out, that part of the forest is off-limits." Andrew frowned but said nothing.
He was unsure if the tremor hade from Alfredo, but it would make sense. Perhaps after discovering the divine sword was missing, he''d flown into a rage and started shing wildly. If Andrew were in Alfredo''s shoes, he would probably do the same thing. One of the sword retainers, either Onyx or Ivory, rushed into their courtyard with about seven subordinates. "Apologies, but something has happened at the estate tonight. ---- We need to search every location, so please forgive the intrusion. After this brief greeting, he waved his hand.
His subordinates immediately rushed into the rooms of Andrew and the others. Sheena did not try to stop them. She asked casually, "Elder Ivory, what''s going on? It''s the middle of the night." Ivory''s eyes were cold as they swept over Andrew and his group. Finally, he spoke. "Nothing serious... It''s just routine business, a standard search." Soon, the search wasplete, and the subordinates returned to his side. Then, silently, they shook their heads at him. Ivory said nothing, offered a brief farewell, and left with his people.<fne> Original content can be found at </fne>
Sheena immediately said, "Something definite has happened at Swordhaven Keep. That tremor earlier must havee from Alfredo''s sword, Firefly." Valerie looked unconvinced. "What makes you so sure?" Sheena exined, ''Firefly''s sword energy is vicious and cold. When the tremor came earlier, I felt bone-chilling coldness in the air. A sword''s killing intent is connected to its master''s state of mind to some degree. If it wasn''t Alfredo, then who else could it be?" ---- Valerie instinctively wanted to argue. However, Sheena''s abilities far exceeded her own.
Therefore, she had no choice but to ept it. What do you think happened to Alfredo? For such amotion, he must''ve lost something important, right?" Luna stayed quiet. However, as Andrew nced at Valerie, Luna''s eyes immediately shifted toward him. When he turned back, their gazes met for a split second. Luna quickly looked away, acting indifferent, but Andrew knew she had already figured something out. That woman''s intuition was razor-sharp, but it did not bother him much. After all, she was still on his side.
Themotion dragged on untilte in the night before things finally settled down. When Andrew returned to his room, hey awake, staring at the ceiling. He could not stop thinking about Alfredo''s terrifying strength or about the Godyer itself. How could he get it out of Swordhaven Keep or even out of the Eastern Regions? As he pondered, his body suddenly tensed, and he floated upward, pressing himself t against the ceiling. ---- The Godyer was still hidden on the beam above him, and that was the only reason it had not been found during the search.
He dropped back down, clutching the cold de in his arms. For some reason, every time he held the sword, it felt happy. Yes, happy. Andrew did not understand why, but he could clearly feel the sword''s strange, joyful pulse through his grip. With that thought lingering in his mind, he wondered whether, with Sheena''s help, they might actually stand a chance against Alfredo. Before he could think further, his door suddenly burst open with a loud bang. Under the moonlight, a slender silhouette appeared at the doorway, her figure traced in silver light.
In the next second, she dove straight into his arms.<style>
