Chapter 113: Upset
Nikolai was cursing under his breath as he popped back inside one of the private rooms of the throne hall. Taro had telepathically told him that Exordium Eva was on her way to the library hall upon knowing that the Queen was there, which was only further reinforced by him feeling the woman’s presence nearing the longer they stayed there. As such, he had no choice but to leave that instant.
"Such a nuisance," Nikolai murmured.
"Lord Fritz also sent a word," Taro added as he handed him a missive. "This is from Lord Fritz. He says he’ll be back after the Midnight Sun arrives."
Seeing the message, Nikolai’s dark and gloomy expression suddenly lit up as he read Fritz’s prediction on when the Midnight Sun would come. "It’s near," he hummed with a smile.
Satisfied, he immediately dismissed Taro and made his way to the throne hall. He only needed to bide his time. Soon, he would be with her... and there was nothing anybody could do to stop it from happening.
[Your Majesty...] Nik called to him through their bond.
[Yes?]
[Master tasked me to go and watch her sister’s training at the Miran Ocean. Knowing that, how can you feast on Master’s form once I’m gone?] Nik shamelessly teased. [Are you planning on giving her another raven? If so, can it please be a female raven this time?]
Nikolai chortled as he shook his head. [Why? Are you feeling lonely already, Nik?] he teased back. [Do you want a mate for yourself now?]
