Chapter 466
Inside an ornate hall, Rouxi and Feifei curiously looked at the beautiful runes on Keith's hands, and then they looked at the ones they now had at the back of their own hands.
"Close your eyes." He told them, and they curiously glanced at him before complying. "Don't open them until I say so."
Both Feifei and Rouxi frowned, but as soon they heard his next words, understood what he was doing.
"Tell me where I am standing right now." They heard his voice in their ears, which made them feel like he was all over them, but they instinctively knew where exactly he was.
"Behind us," Feifei answered. "And you are several metres away." @@@@
"Correct." He smiled. "Now, find me. You can open your eyes."
As soon as they heard his words, they sensed him disappear from the room, and they both looked at each other before looking at the Rune at the back of their hands.
Even if they could not see him, they were aware of his general location, and both of them understood that it was all thanks to this Sacred Rune of Marriage that now bound them.
They slowly walked towards the third door that was at the back of the hall, which opened to the Royal Corridor, where their rooms were.
Without needing to check any room, they entered the one that belonged to Keith, and indeed, he was inside, sitting on his couch, waiting for them.
"So we can now sense each other's location?" Rouxi asked, smiling at him, and he nodded his head.
"As long as we are in the same world, yes." He nodded. "Or inside any secret realm that is linked to the main world."
"Awesome!" Feifei excitedly rushed over to him and then hugged his arm. "What else does it do?"
"We can convey our feelings to each other no matter where we are."
"Even if we are not in the same world?" Rouxi came to sit on his other side and inquired.
"Yes," He nodded. "It also lets us know if your spouse is in mortal danger or not. If we allow it, then can also feel each other's state of mind and health."
"And?"
"You will find the rest out yourself." He playfully tapped her head, which prompted her to pout at him. "But I can tell you that the Sacred Rune only takes root if you are sincere to each other, and in a girl's case, when she is not bound to someone else. Now you understand why we felt the way we did when we met each other? The inexplicable attraction?"
"Oh..."
"Yes," He chuckled as the realisation dawned on them. "This is why I told you that we were meant for each other." He nudged his nose with Feifei's cute little nose, and she giggled before she sipped a kiss from his lips.
"Does everyone in the family have them?"
"No." He shook his head.
"You are not going to marry them?" Rouxi curiously asked, and he smiled at her question before meeting her eyes.
"I will, but for some, the scared Rune I will share with them will be different than the one we share."
"In what sense?" Feifei raised her brow at him.
"Why?" She was confused at his words, especially because she could sense a hint of seriousness from him as well as some playfulness.
"I won't answer that question." He met her eyes and straightforwardly refused her, which made her pout at him.
"Then tell me something else. Why do you have seven Sacred Runes of Marriage on you?" She raised the question. "Amelia, Rebecca, Kiara, Qingyue, Rouxi, and I. That's six. Who's the seventh?"
Rouxi, who had noticed it too, curiously looked at him, and he just smiled at her and kept looking Feifei in her eyes.
"Take a guess. I am sure you have already figured it out."
She frowned at his words but then nodded her head.
"It's Mother, isn't it?"
Rouxi's eyes widened at his words, and seeing him nod in admission, Feifei frowned.
"How does that work?"
Keith saw clear confusion on her face and raised his brow at her.
"She was married to your father, and she gave birth to you. How can she have the Sacred Rune of Marriage? Isn't it something that you can only have when you are meant for each other and when all Divine Laws approve of it?"
Rouxi looked at Feifei in surprise, and then she too frowned and looked at Keith.
"I used to think that she had to bring me to this world, which was why she was supposed to marry my father. And honestly, when I married her, it was what was on my mind and the Sacred Rune of Marriage was a gamble. However, it took root, and it took me quite some time to figure out why it happened." He smiled.
"Why?" They both frowned, but Keith only leaned near Feifei's ear and whispered the answer to her.
"What?!"
"Sshhhh!" He placed his finger on her lips and prevented her from asking any questions.
"Keep it to yourself for now. You will understand things later."
"Hey!" Rouxi complained, accusingly looking at him, and both he and Feifei laughed at her reaction.
"You can tell her first what I told you, but after a year." He said, and Feifei obediently nodded her head, grinning at her friend.
"Why would you not tell me now?" The Child of Destiny frowned.
"For fun," They both replied to her in unison, and Rouxi dumbly looked at them before she sighed and stood up.
"You are mean. I am going to join the rest of the girls in the main lounge."
"Hey! Are you not going to join us in the bed?" Feifei mischievously asked, and Rouxi threw her a glare.
"Behave." She told her before she exited the room and closed the door behind her.
Feifei laughed as she had sensed the shyness from Rouxi, but when she inadvertently glanced at Keith and saw the playfulness in his eyes, her heart skipped a beat.
