[Arthdal Chronicles] Fight for freedom

CHAPTER 10: Interesting ideas. (EDITED 06/22)

Learning about Yangcha helping Tanya during the meeting made Enoria surprisingly a little upset. She felt a bit jealous. She knew they weren't hiding in the forest anymore, it wasn't just him and her anymore, they were surrounded by other people so it was normal they interacted with others but she didn't want him to interact with other women, intentionally or not. 

Then she realized he must have felt the same way seeing her interacting with Tagon and she felt sorry because it was probably hard for him not to show anything all the time. Plus, as Tanya was a Niruha now, he couldn't have just let her fall in front of everyone. 

"So after all, you were happy he was by your side despite the fact he is the one who brought you here?" Enoria asked, trying to hide the fact she was upset.

"Happy is not the word I would have used. I am thankful for the fact he prevented me from falling ridiculously in front of everyone but that's all," Tanya replied.

"But you said he has a soft voice," Enoria accused.

"I said I was surprised, I wasn't expecting to hear his thoughts. That doesn't change the fact he is a cold-blooded killer."

"And so am I," Enoria shrugged, "anyway, you should learn how to control your ability," she said before she noticed the way Tanya was looking at her. "What? Why are you looking at me like that?" she asked her.

"You are upset, aren't you?"

"Me? Why would I? I am not, not at all."

"You don't sound convincing," Tanya said, crossing her arms.

"And what do you want me to tell you? That I am jealous because I want to hear his thoughts too and that I don't like the fact he touched you? Alright, I said it, are you happy? Are you going to make fun of me now?" she asked before she looked away and mumbled she was ridiculous for being jealous over such a litte thing.

Tanya giggled. Enoria looked at her, surprised by her sudden laugh.

"You have a cute side," Tanya teased her, "you must really love him a lot to be jealous over such little things."

"Yes, that's right, I love him a lot and I got jealous over stupid little things."

"How cute," the High Priestess teased her again.

"Who is cute, little Niruha?" Enoria replied, throwing a pillow to Tanya who didn't have the time to catch.

Tanya picked it up asking with an amused tone if Enoria wanted to die for daring to throw something into the descendant of Asa Sin's face. Then she tried to throw back the pillow to the Igutu but failed to reach her making Enoria laughed. She threw another one but Enoria avoided it. Once Tanya had childishly thrown all the pillows there were on her bed to Enoria without  actually managing to hit her with one, she gave up and they both laughed.

The two talked for a moment before Tanya's maids announced themselves ready to prepare her for the night. Enoria slipped out from the room discreetly after they entered.

-----------------------------------------------------------

Few days had passed since Tanya had become Arthdal's High Priestess. She was still unfamiliar with her new status but she got the help of Saya who tried his best to help her learn how to adapt to her new role.

Enoria regularly paid visit to Tanya as well, discreetly, so that their friendship stayed unknown to others. Saya knew she came to the Great Shrine from time to time, and he disliked that. Taealha had informed him on the fact Enoria was someone capable of resisting hallucinogen and torture and so, it only confirmed him how suspicious she was. and reinforced the fact he didn't want her to be close with Tanya.
