Chapter 429: Logic or heart.

“Wait a minute! How the hell did you know that I am scared of heights?” Brian asked.

“You became way quiet than usual, You were acting uncomfortable when someone spoke about the Blazing wheel, your voice was tense when you asked a question about it.”

“You are someone who likes doing things together with others, but without a reason, you decided you didn’t want to join them.”

“Your palms were clenched nonstop at the Blazing wheel and your...” Luciano was still going, but Brian decided to stop him in his tracks.

“Was it that obvious?” Brian asked in an anxious tone as they turned into the road that led to the carousel.

“They were focused on the ride so I doubt, it was obvious to me.” Luciano answered without a change in expression.

“Thank the heavens.” Brian let out a sigh of relief.

.....

Right from his childhood, Brian retained his fear of heights. His nearly 3 years of experience had mitigated his phobia, but seeing that the Blazing wheel was worse than rides on Earth, it was a big no for him.

As for the balloon carousel he was about to enter, it was just a few meters above the ground so he wasn’t worried.

“You are not joining me?” Brian asked.

“Nah, I don’t find things like this fun.” Luciano said.

“So you will just stand there doing nothing?” Brian couldn’t help but ask.

“...”

Taking Luciano’s silence as a yes, Brian took a seat and began thinking about his decision.

‘It’s lonely doing this shit alone. I should have just sucked it up and joined them at the Blazing wheel.’ Brian thought as the carousel began moving.

‘After this round, I am returning to the Blazing wheel.’ Brian said with a newfound resolve to conquer his greatest fear.

...

On the outside, Luciano was putting plans in place for the grand finale taking place the next day.

‘The grand finale is individual combat, so I wonder what artifacts those from the capital would get.’

Although his eyes were on the carousel he was lost in thought, but he couldn’t fail to notice that a seat was empty.

Immediately, Luciano began searching for Brian with his eyes but he was nowhere to be found.

‘He has been abducted.’ Luciano thought with a deep frown before pulling out his communication amulet and calling his brother.

“Brian has been abducted, I need a royal knight to be deployed.” Luciano said in a distressed tone.

How Brian was abducted without others having a clue meant that the abductor was not below the demigod realm. Also, this meant that top nobles were involved, implying the ash corps wouldn’t be reliable.

That was why he directly opted for the royal knights, not only would their involvement mean a successful rescue but they couldn’t be delayed or diverted.

“He is the one with the least priority among the 3. So it would take quite some time and energy convincing Father to deploy one.” Bryon said.

“I suspect that he was abducted to lure Blake out from the Golden Seal.” Luciano explained his suspicion.

“I am aware of that, but this is an opportunity to see if he will choose to be logical even at this moment.” Prince Bryon said in a pondering tone with his hand on his chin, but that was when he noticed that Luciano was comfortable with that train of thought.

“You don’t have to worry, a royal knight will be deployed just in time to save your friend even if Blake gets involved. See you tomorrow at the arena, I have things to deal with.” Bryon said before cutting the communication link.

“Let’s just make sure that Castiel doesn’t get abducted too.” Luciano let out a helpless sigh.

Brian wouldn’t just get returned, so it was best he made sure that Castiel wasn’t abducted too.

...

On the 77th floor of the Golden Seal hotel.

Blake hadn’t moved an inch from his current spot and had no plan of doing so till dinner, but unfortunately his doorbell rang.

“Are they back already?” Blake couldn’t help but ask with a raised brow.

He used the see-through door function only to see no one was at the door, but that was when he saw a piece of paper on the floor.

‘Scan the environment.’ Blake instructed the system.

He was in a foreign city where he had even stronger enemies. So he was not taking any chances at all, especially with a letter that mysteriously appeared in front of his door.

[Everything is safe, including the paper.]

It was after the system gave him the green light that he finally opened the door and picked up the piece of paper before quickly shutting the door.

“Your brown friend has been abducted, you have 55 minutes to get to the location at the back. Make sure to come alone.” Blake read out.

“Wtf! I thought he was with Luciano how did he end up getting kidnapped?!” Blake face-palmed.

[What’s your plan?] The system asked.

“I am not sure.” Blake answered.

“This guy wants to kill me and would most likely kill Brian too after me, making it a stupid decision.” Blake sat on his bed as he felt a headache brewing.

“These are not the useless nobles of Calton city, they would have employed someone that can surely get the job done. Also, there is most likely a contingency plan to make sure there are no mistakes. So I will be dead either way.”

“Trying to save him means jeopardizing everything I have worked hard for and saying goodbye to ever seeing mom again, but it was because of me that he was targeted in the first place.” Blake thought with closed eyes.

(AN: What do you guys think is the right decision, logic or heart?)
