[ The Hidden Archon ]

「 21 」

Rei looked at Diluc before glacing at Enki who is still enjoying his grape juice. She smiled before facing the Red haired Ragnvindr.

" Mhm! Enoxy is the 1st Blessed Everlasting. He pretty much knew a lot about Sakuya since he grew up with her before she ascended as an Archon " It intrigued Diluc from what she has spoken.  One word caught his attention, and that word is " Blessed "

" What do you mean Blessed Everlasting? Are they like different from you two? or being called blessed has to do with growing up with Lady (Y/N) " Enki choked at his juice, Diluc quickly patted his back to soothe the sudden action.

Rei laughed at Enki's surprised expression from hearing the words of the Red Haired Ragnvindr.

" You could say that but being a Blessed Everlasting means that Sakuya acknowledges you as a true Everlasting or someone who dedicates their life in protecting Sakurai and Sakuya. Enki and I are not blessed yet since . . . Sakuya fell asleep the day before our Blessing " Rei's expression became down as well as Enki. Diluc is not fully aware about what has truly happened with (Y/N) in the past, but he remembered before when he was still in Sakurai that its about Eternal Sleep.

" If I'm correct . . . Lady (Y/N) fell asleep before the day of your Blessing and she's been asleep for how many years? " 

" I'm not entirely sure if its correct but Enoxy and Ukyo told us the she's been asleep for 500 years " Shock was evident on Diluc's face. 500 years is a very long sleep . . . That's why Sakurains called it Eternal Sleep.

" 500 years but we never stopped looking for her. We Never knew where her body was before she slept. Enoxy and Eve tried to leave the Seal but they couldn't because Sakuya's slumber made the Seal stronger that no one can leave at all " Enki further explained, his glass now empty as he looks at Diluc with a gentle expression. The Everlasting of Gentleness after all is gentle and still a kid at heart.

" Since we're on the topic of Everlastings, we might as well tell you each members according to the earliest Everlasting and down to Enki and I " Rei spoke before asking Diluc a refill for her grape juice.

" The earliest Everlasting ever to be appointed is none other than Enoxy as we said before that he is the 1st Everlasting. He grew up pretty much with Sakuya before being an Archon. A bit clingy to her and obsessive? Despite those traits, he's very skilled in any weapons but he mostly sticks with anything sword related " Rei sipped her glass of grape juice before eyeing Enki to continue her words about the 1st Everlasting.

Enki looked at Diluc again, Greyish eyes clashed with Red eyes as the white haired child begins to speak. 

" Enoxy has tendencies though . . . That's why Rei and I were sometimes not placed under his commands. He became quite unstable recently but now with Sakuya awake, he'll gradually come back to his old state " Diluc looked confused at the sudden shift of description about the 1st Blessed Everlasting, he assumed that tendencies meant a type of uncontrolled actions.

Both Everlastings talked more about Enoxy, his tendencies to his connection with Sakuya until they shifted the topic to his twin, Eve.

" 2nd Blessed Everlasting would be Eve, Enoxy's twin. Unlike Enoxy's tendencies, Eve is pretty much the one who calms him down. Despite the fact that Eve was not raised with Enoxy and Sakuya from her early years " Rei said.
