Quick Transmigration: Goddess Of My Imagination
Chapter 317: Their AssumptionsChapter 317: Their Assumptions
Ella and Evelyn went to their respective family to tell them about a female ghost's appearance in their room last night.
Surprisingly, no one took it seriously. Even when word reached Emperor Arthur's ears, he only responded passively. Elysia and her friends were confused by it.
"Well, you girls are already excited about horror stories in the morning. Go have breakfast with us before leaving." Alexander waved his hand to invite others towards the dining room.
"But we'll be late. The academy starts at eight, and it's nearly seven now." Ella complained and gave a slight objection.
"Don't worry, you will be leaving in a carriage and will be arriving at the academy in no time." Alexander brushed off the objection with a solution.
Ella and Evelyn looked at each other, then they glanced over at Elysia. They didn't know why, but their horror reports were pushed aside by the adults.
Elysia and Elena had some suspicions, but they were silent about it. The adults seemed to be hiding something after Ella and Evelyn told the horror incident.
In other words, it was not the business of outsiders like them to interfere in matters for which they were not responsible.
Elysia only lifted her shoulder in a half-shrug in response to the gaze she got from her friends. Then, they followed the others into the dining room to have breakfast together first before leaving. It wouldn't take long after all.
After a light breakfast, the three girls said goodbye to the Royal Families. Raylee also said goodbye because he had the same destination.
When the three girls and a boy walked away, Arthur had a complex expression with mixed feelings. He wanted to say something a few times before, but he discouraged his intention.
Because of that, he just sighed as he glanced at Elysia's back once again. Incorrect time and place when the topic was raised. Luckily, the others had some considerations for him and didn't talk about it to the girls.

"Yes, I also find it a little strange. Even my grandfather did not take it seriously and seemed to be putting it aside. I thought my grandfather would purify Aeddoterra Imperial Palace from ghosts and evil spirits." Ella folded her hands in her lap with the same assumption.
"Hm, I thought Grandpa would summon a cleric army to banish ghosts or evil spirits. I'm sure something is up, given Emperor Arthur's awkward response. However, please end this conversation here. Honestly, it's not our job to interfere any more than that." Elysia gave a gentle suggestion out of consideration.
"Before that conversation closes, let me add one of my assumptions." Raylee raised his hand. He became interested when he found out that the three girls in front of him were being harassed by a ghost last night.
"All right, we're all ears, Senior Raylee." Elysia thought that hearing one more assumption wouldn't hurt.
"This might sound presumptuous and impolite, so please don't share it with anyone, okay?" Raylee glanced left and right, then whispered softly.
The three girls in front of him just nodded innocently. Sure, Raylee continued his words. "I have a suspicion that it is the spirit of Emperor Arthur's wife. As you know, news about Aeddoterra Kingdom's Queen is nowhere to be found. All that people know is that Aeddoterra Kingdom's Queen is seriously ill and is being treated in an unknown place."
'Yes, that's it! Ely, do you remember that there was an empty seat next to Emperor Arthur's throne? You even thought that the Queen was dead. Maybe last night's ghost was her spirit.' Elena cheered when she said that. She was pleased enough to know such a horror story.
'It might happen, Sister Elena. But, that's just an assumption because we don't know the truth.' Elysia had a similar assumption, but she didn't dare to make a conclusion.
'Let's explore that on another occasion, Ely. Perhaps, the Queen's ghost needs help because of her remorse in the world.' Elena invited with excitement. She wanted to try a supernatural experience by helping the poor ghost.
'Uhh, let's talk about that later, Sister Elena. You are so excited for something that smells horror or the supernatural.' Elysia didn't wish to continue the discussion.
'Oh dear, is my Ely feeling a little scared? Please don't worry, your beloved big sister is here to protect you from ghosts and evil spirits, hehe...' Elena covered her mouth reflexively. It confused the little Goddess on her shoulder because Nell didn't know anything about Elena and Elysia's conversation.
"Ah, it reminds me of that. I didn't find any news about Aeddoterra Kingdom's Queen. Please forgive my ignorance, but is Aeddoterra Kingdom's Queen dead?" Evelyn said in a soft whisper as she put her hand on her chin in thought.
"I don't know. It happened when Prince Theo was a toddler. We weren't born into the world at that time. I asked my parents, but I didn't get anything." Raylee spread his arms and shrugged his shoulders.
"Hm, just like the response we got earlier. It seems that the Griffith Royal Family is hiding and protected by people who know the truth. But why? I don't understand at all." Ella was lost in confusion.
"Thank you for informing us, Senior Raylee. However, let's end this conversation. If we are not informed, then there must be a strong reason behind it. Moreover, the Queen's information is being hidden on purpose to the world. For that reason, let's stay out of the adults' business." Elysia once again suggested closing the conversation on the topic out of concern.
"Very well. But remember, it's just an absurd assumption. There are no facts in it. Don't let it spread and create problems, okay?" Raylee pointed his index finger up in warning.
Elysia and her friends nodded in understanding. They were wise enough to know the cause and effect.
After that, they talked about other minor topics such as daily life and academy re-assessment event.
Ella and Evelyn also brought up a little discussion about Elysia leaving this afternoon. Even though it was a bit of a loss to be apart for a few days, they couldn't do anything.
The Goddess of Blessings didn't explain much about the reason behind the Fairy Continent journey. Still, Ella and Evelyn asked Elysia for souvenirs.
"Uhm, do you think I'll be there for a tour? But alright, I'll bring you some souvenirs." Elysia gave her consent with a hint of helplessness.
"Yay! Thank you, Ely." Evelyn hugged Elysia's arm cheerfully. Yet, she remembered one interesting item and immediately took it from her Space Bag.
"Ely, this Memoire is for you. Please take some photos of your trip, okay? Oh yes, bring some of these crystals for backup resources." Evelyn handed over a thin black box magic device and several purple crystal tubes.
"Take some photos?" Elysia gave a slow response. She only realized the request when Evelyn had put the items into her hands.
"Yup, some photos to capture your moment, Ely. That way, we can see those interesting moments together. You can use Memoire, right? I'll teach you if you're not good at it." Evelyn gave a winsome smile, Ella smiled too, and Elysia smiled as the atmosphere prompted her to do so.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"Thanks for your gift, Eve. I'll take some photos when the opportunity comes. Please teach me how to use this Memoire." Elysia could only accept that. It would be rude if she refused a gift that had been given, especially from her friend.
"En, with pleasure." Evelyn then taught her best friend how to use Memoire properly.
After finishing with the tutorial, Ella also provided some provisions for Elysia. It took the form of several protective talismans and the like for various circumstances.
Elysia and Elena once again got a feeling that Ella's family was either onmyouji or exorcist.
Meanwhile, Raylee was just watching the conversation and exchange of the three girls silently. They were quite harmonious as friends.
However, Raylee paid more attention to Elysia. The girl whom he thought was a princess from the Western Kingdom's Royal Family. Unfortunately, that assumption was not proven correct because Elysia was the Goddess of Light's disciple.
He could only find one person from all of Emperor Magnus Walsh's harem and descendants. So, where did all the Walsh Royal Family go? Were they no longer on the Human Continent just because of Devil Emperor Dylan's pursuit? Raylee wondered in his mind.
A few moments later, the carriage stopped near the row of the main academy buildings. The journey from the Imperial Palace to the academy only took a short time, thanks to the escorts.
"Oh my, we have arrived. We still have about 20 minutes before eight." Evelyn looked at the cube clock and gave an approving nod.
"Mm, as my grandfather said. Let's go." Ella invited and immediately got down when the carriage door opened from the outside by a holy knight.
Then, Evelyn, Elysia, and Raylee got off the carriage in turn.
"Thank you for your escort. Now that we have arrived, you may return to your duties." Ella conveyed brief gratitude to the escort squad.
"We have received your gratitude with honor, Holy Princess. Have a nice day for you and everyone. Then, we excuse ourselves." The squad leader gave a bow of courtesy.
After Ella gave her response, the escort squad left the academy area.
Ella walked towards Elysia and Evelyn, then they walked together towards a place to the east together. Raylee followed closely behind.
