Chapter 347 The Fruit Of Youth Got Stolen?

However, just like Viktor, she didn’t have the luxury to think about anything else when she saw all her sisters flying toward the Tree of Life.

Viktor didn’t know if he heard it right but seeing how panicky the entire place had become, he felt that he did indeed hear that their most precious fruit was gone!

He was about to rush off there when Felia tugged at his sleeves, indirectly asking him to bring her over there quickly since she couldn’t fly.

Viktor immediately lifted her into his arms as his eyes turned crimson and swiftly disappeared from the spot.

Within a few moments, he and Felia were already standing near the Tree of Life, where all other fairies had crowded around as well, and even Talia was there, who quickly walked over to Viktor with drooped shoulders, “Honey…their Fruit of Youth…somebody stole it…It just happened right under all our noses, and nobody saw or noticed anything. Did you happen to see anything out of the ordinary?”

Viktor could see that Talia was sad about what happened, just like the other fairies, including Felia, who had already begun to tear up and was kneeling on the ground and seemed to be praying to someone.

Seraphina was in the far front, right near the Tree of Life, and seemed to be praying as well with her eyes closed, though her hand was on the tree.

Viktor sighed and shook his head as he said, “I don’t know…I was sleeping the entire time, but I am sure whoever stole it must be a master at stealth to have not made the slightest disturbance.”

Viktor was sure about this since even if he slept in his human form, he could never sleep like a log. At least half of his senses would still be active, and if anybody did sneak past him, he would definitely notice. But yesterday night, he didn’t notice or sense any such thing, nor did the others.

He then asked, “Who are they praying to now?”

”Their Holy Godmother and their Spirit Guardian, of course. But in a situation like this, they are obviously expecting the Spirit Guardian’s divine help since they have complete faith in him even if they had never seen him. But…I am going to find the bastard who dared to steal from my friends…,” Talia’s tone suddenly turned chilly as she gritted her teeth.

Viktor felt bad for all of them, especially since that fruit was like their lifeline, and said, “Don’t worry. I will help you guys find it as well. I hope the thief hasn’t eaten it yet, or will they?”

Talia snorted and said with her hands on her hips, “Fortunately, the fruit is not ripe yet. So if somebody eats it now, they won’t receive any benefits. It wouldn’t even taste good. And that is why their spirits aren’t broken yet as there is the hope of getting it back before the fruit gets ripe.”

”Oh…” Viktor didn’t realize that there was still time left for the fruit to become ripe, and so he also felt that the culprit wouldn’t dare to eat it now and waste it away.

Seraphina slowly got up with an empty stare as she turned around and said in a flat, monotone voice, “My daughters, the Holy Godmother, unfortunately, was unable to warn me because the thief seemed to have cast a very powerful spell that could cast darkness over even souls to keep them in the dark. But I know that the thief is still within our realm. So spread out and see if you see anything but never engage in a fight. Instead, inform me no matter what you all see or what happens.”

The fairies immediately bowed before flying away in all directions while Felia was also about to run away in some direction when Seraphina suddenly called out, “Felia, stop. You are not going anywhere.”

Felia’s expression fell as she looked at her with big teary eyes, “But A-All mother…I want to help…Our fruit—”

”Don’t worry. The Spirit Guardian is looking over us, but right now, your duty is to not get in trouble but stay here and look after our home till we come back. I promise…I will do everything in my power to bring it back,” Seraphina said softly as she patted Felia’s head.

”We will help you find it,” Viktor said, making Felia’s eyes sparkle as she smiled. For some reason, she had a lot of faith in Viktor to be able to do anything.

Seraphina’s eyes glistened as she looked at him and asked, “I appreciate both of your kind gestures. But you two are guests, and whatever troubles we are facing should not be your burden. I can’t let you two risk yourselves since the thief could be dangerous.”

Talia pursed her lips as she asked in a disappointed tone, “Aunt Seraphina, how could you treat us like strangers, especially me? I already consider you as my family, and family doesn’t turn their backs on each other. You helped my mother a lot even if it was not your concern.”

For once, Viktor felt that he and Talia were on the same page and shared the same thought as he said, “Talia is right, fairy queen. We weren’t asking. Let’s go, Talia before the thief escapes from here.”

Viktor wanted to help them out since they not only treated them well, but they were a precious and pure race that didn’t deserve this.

The two immediately rushed out while Seprahina looked at their disappearing backs with her lips pressed together.

She then looked at Felia and said, “Take care and look after our place till I come back, Felia.”

Felia nodded as she held her hands and said, “Please be careful, Allmother.”

”I will…”
