Chapter 135: Catching Up
Xenia’s face paled, and Mineah knew her big sister just realized how grave and dangerous their brother’s situation currently was.
Xenia stared at her and whispered, "Ezekiel... He’s the one that’s cursed? That’s the only explanation for this, Mineah. How could a dragon have stayed and lived inside of him all this time? Can we get him back?"
"That’s why Mother and I have to go," Mineah reiterated. "We’ll sort things out for our brother."
It was unfortunate that she had to lie like this. She couldn’t even tell her dear sister Xenia that she was the one that was truly cursed. Ezekiel’s case was very different, one that was too uncertain for them to honestly assume that it was a curse.
"I’ll do everything in my power to focus on becoming Queen, Mineah," Xenia declared. "You and our parents don’t need to worry about me."
"I will need to gain power over Cordon for me to even help. And as much as I hate to say this... I’ll use everything in my power as future Queen to make sure that our brother can come back to us safely," Xenia further declared. "I don’t know a thing about dragons and how one even managed to merge with our brother, but I’m sure Ezekiel will get a hold of himself eventually. He won’t just disappear on us like that..."
Xenia flashed her a determined gaze, and Mineah had a satisfied smile on her face knowing that her sister would know what to do best on her end. She was glad to hear that she wouldn’t sway on her focus at the moment.
"Tarah..." Xenia suddenly murmured.
"You mean the newly appointed seer, right? She’s missing too," Mineah revealed. "They said Tarah ran after Ezekiel, so I believe she was with our brother before he turned into a dragon. I’ll try to inform you of all the details as soon as I get a hold of them on my arrival at the encampment, Sister."
