The Emperor Is My Brother's Best Friend-Chapter 82

As the previous guest left the tent, Kate stretched her arms up. If that wasn't enough to relax her tired muscles, she rose up from her seat, walked around, and warmed up lightly.

The past, present, and future that the guests wanted were usually informed by her crystal ball.

Normal people can't see what appears in the orb, so Kate had no choice but to see it through her own eyes and repeat it to them.

It was a very important job for her to do.

"I guess I’ll just have to accept that previous guest as the last. Hmm… From what I saw earlier, it seems that the skewer shop has started business..."

Kate's mouth salivated over the snacks that were made and ready to eat after she closed up for the night. She was determined to claim that the previous guest was her final and last guest of the day.

At that moment, a wind blew into the tent as if against her resolve.

Kate's eyes widened at the sound.

"I can’t close the business yet?"

Sometimes God would send her requests from time to time through the wind.

Trying to recall any important news she’d gathered on the current situation and list of demands God had given her, Kate shrugged, unable to recall.

…God is playing a trick on me. Haa… But what can I do? I must follow his will.

The vision of her eating the skewers was moving further away before Kate's eyes. Swallowing back tears, she sat down and called out to her guests.

The guest entered.

It’s the lover!

The usual questions Kate expected were about the future, which she would get knowledge of easily.

Sometimes a customer would come asking to find an unscrupulous person who stole their money. Or she’d get a customer asking for the whereabouts of a lost cat looking for a relationship.

This time, Kate expected as much as she invited the next guest, feeling fatigue weigh on her eyes and body.

"Welcome, guests."

Kate couldn't take her eyes off the guest, who had entered the tent with warm greetings.

Her last guests were a group consisting of three women.

Two of them gave the impression of everyday commoners who you’d see walking about the plaza square, but the woman in the middle was different.

First of all, her overall appearance was different. The woman had sun-kissed blonde hair and ruby-red red eyes. Kate had never seen anyone so beautiful in all her sixteen years of life.

The beauty possessed by the Emperor and the Duke of Honeywell was nothing compared to that of this woman.

But it wasn't the looks that caught Kate's attention. It was the energy that emanated from her very pores.

Divinity that could not be felt even by the high priest.

It was only visible to souls touched by God.

Kate was sure.

…That person. Not the emperor, but this woman has the attention of the gods. She is a woman born under the hand of God. However, what is that?

"Sit."

Kate invited the three of them to sit on opposite chairs.

She narrowed her eyes at the blonde woman who sat in the middle.

The soul of the woman who received the touch of God was clear, pure, and clean.

She possessed a soul so clean that it was admirable, even to Kate, but there was something foreign contained within it.

Kate wanted to figure out what it was, but no matter how hard she focused her eyes, she couldn't see exactly what it was.

"I—We came because we wanted to see Master K’s fortune-telling."

The woman sitting on the right spoke out cautiously.

Kate then realized that she hadn't said anything to the guests after they sat down.

She coughed awkwardly to break the building tension.

"Hmm, yes, my apologies. What did you come to see?"

"I want to know the whereabouts of my ex, who ran away last year!"

The woman sitting on the right screamed out in a rush.

Her words, dripping with resentment, drew the attention of not only the blonde woman but also the woman sitting on the opposite side, to the left.

Kate held the crystal ball in front of the woman who asked the question.

"Can you tell me your name first?"

"It’s Barry."

"Yes, Miss Barry, think of the person you want to find and place your hand on this crystal ball. I need a very detailed description, so think of as many details as you can. That way the crystal ball will be able to easily locate him."

Barry placed her hand on the crystal ball and closed her eyes. Slowly, her face hardened as if she were drawing the image of her ex-lover who had run away in her mind’s eye.

"Yes, great. You can let go now."

Barry released her grip as Kate focused on the story the crystal ball was foretelling.

The man who appeared in the crystal ball was seen laughing with a foreign woman in a nation outside of Tristan.

A drop of cold sweat broke out on Kate's face as she confirmed his whereabouts.

…The man ran away and is living with another woman.

The crystal ball had always been brutal when revealing secrets that others tried to keep hidden.

Many guests had asked the same questions as Barry, and there were times when it was as difficult to tell the truth as it is now.

Kate cleared her face of any emotions and spoke.

"The man is on another continent, another nation. It's a place where you have to travel by boat for several days, so if you're thinking of meeting him now, it's good to pack for a few days."

Leaving aside the image of a man with a woman, Kate shared what she had seen.

…I don't think you'll ever meet them again, so this is better.

Looking at Barry with her shoulders drooping, Kate said that she would meet someone better in the future, then looked at the blonde woman.

"Does the customer have any questions?"

"Me? I do…"

The woman was visibly embarrassed.

It was difficult to tell whether she hesitated because there was nothing she wanted to know or if it was difficult to say out loud.

Kate was curious about the woman's story.

_—No, I just want to know the name of this woman. _

When Kate looked at the crystal ball, she did not ask for the guest's name.
