It was evening and they had already visited the whole Tamika, it was really beautiful and the most stand out thing was not the building but plants that were planted there.
Their beauty was breathtaking
Now the place to visit was the alchemy hall, it was the second highest building. Advitya and Saksham wanted to visit the alchemy hall first but Sneha insisted them to visit other places first. Advitya wanted to initially object but how Sneha has been good to him and Saksham, he digested that objection right before it could come out his mouth.
It did leave a bad taste though.
The alchemy hall was heavily protected as it had its own defence barrier surrounding itself. They were screened before they were allowed to enter the alchemy hall and were only given access to move between the first three floors of the alchemy hall.
Alchemy hall had a strange aroma in it. It was nothing like a medicinal smell but the aroma like the dirt gives just after a heavy rainfall. The first and second floor was bustling with light green robed people.
Advitya could see from the door various processes were happening inside the rooms, some people were grinding herbs, some were testing paste and some noting down things. It was all in all very chaotic.
After some time they exited the alchemy hall and Advitya asked Sneha about the added security specifically for it
"Alchemists are protected and people with alchemy talent are quite uncommon. But the most important reason for this much additional security is because an A level alchemist is staying here. That's the reason you did not leave for the capital." Sneha replied.
Advitya had a conflicted view on alchemy; he knew alchemists are paid very highly and are very protected. But he did not like the idea of him just simply being a part of another's success.
Alchemy provided him with security but he knew that not now but at some point in certain future a world ending danger will surely befall in this world, he wants to take an active part in fighting danger.
He liked the thought of being basked by people's praise, becoming a hero of this world.
It was already dark. After saying goodnight to Sneha and Saksham he headed to his room just as he was about to sleep, he heard a knock on the door.
He opened the door and was surprised to see Sneha outside not in maid clothing but in a beautiful saree.
"I can't sleep, let's go on a walk, only you and me."
Advitya nodded and simply followed Sneha, they were walking in the garden, between trees and flowers.
"Did I interrupted your sleep?",Sneha asked in an innocent voice.
Advitya wanted to say yes but stopped when his wandered on her, she was looking gorgeous in that dress her beautiful black hair woven into a bun was tied together by flower, her already pale skin added with a little bit of makeup exuded a pinkish hue and those lips smiled innocently at Advitya.
"You are looking heavenly Sneha, so beautiful that in fact I want to kidnap you.", Advitya replied looking straight into her eyes.
Sneha blushed under the flattery and tried to hide the eye contact but Advitya holded her waist and pulled her toward him.
She made a surprised face and looked toward him and wanted to say something in protest but Advitya's lips sealed her lips from moving.
"BOOOM."
