Chapter 133: Climax That Way*
Their journey went on uneventfully after that one exchange. Mineah wasn’t in the mood to say anything. Instead, she thought hard and deeply about what to do. And thankfully, while they were still inside the carriage, an idea suddenly came to her.
’What if I just compelled Nikolai? Is it even possible for me to compel someone as powerful as him?’ she couldn’t help but propose to herself. ’I’m not able to read his thoughts though, so maybe my power to compel also won’t have an effect on him?’
There was a deafening silence inside the carriage as this went on, and Mineah was only grateful that Nikolai didn’t bother her during her solitude. She turned to him, and to her surprise, he was actually staring at her.
"Are you still mad?" he asked.
Mineah could only shrug. "I’m no longer mad, but I’m worried..."
Nikolai let out a deep and restless sigh. "I don’t want to lie and give you a promise that I won’t be able to keep, Mine. As I said, I won’t make any harsh moves against the dragon for now while it’s still behaving, but I don’t know how I would react if I personally come face to face with Vulcan," he sincerely stated.
"I can only hope that the dragon hasn’t merged with your brother. And to be honest, that scenario sounds too impossible for it to happen. No human can withstand a dragon’s soul..."

Also, her mother mentioned in the letter that she was confident that Ezekiel could overpower Vulcan given enough time, but he won’t be able to do it alone. Ezekiel would need their mother, and either her or Xenia to help him...
