Chapter 64: Phonoi - the God of spirits

As Rio stepped out of his room, his heart skipped a beat when he saw Artemis and Amelia standing there. A mixture of surprise and worry washed over him, wondering if they had heard anything, he asked the system, but it was useless. 

'Fuck' . 

He quickly composed himself, attempting to hide any traces of his recent emotional turmoil. With a smile that he hoped conveyed calmness, he greeted them, "Mother, Amelia, is everything alright?"

Amelia was looking at Rio worriedly, while Artemis's face had a blank expression. Rio looked at Artemis, trying to see any hint if she heard anything or not, but couldn't understand anything. 

Rio's heart raced as he observed the blank expression on her face. The uncertainty of whether she had heard anything or not gnawed at his mind, fueling his anxiety. He glanced at Amelia, hoping to find some clue or reassurance in her innocent eyes, but she seemed oblivious to his internal turmoil.
