Chapter 164: To Finish the Job
A few days had passed since Mineah had given the bluebell flower containing Ezekiel’s spirit, and she was getting anxious as she waited for her mother or wizard Lurio to give her an update about the current situation. Likewise, Nikolai was clearly also curious as to why she wasn’t going out to try and look for her brother. Not that she wasn’t, but there was just no need for it since they already knew where his body was.
It really was just a massive waiting game now... one that she was reluctant to have to play in the first place.
"What’s taking things so long..." Mineah sighed to herself as she found herself pacing back and forth in her shared tent with Nikolai. It was currently dawn, and thankfully, her husband was busy with other things pertaining to his army’s upkeep. However, that didn’t mean that she should be open with what was bothering her even if she was alone. Keeping secrets from him was still taking a toll on her, and it was getting harder for her to keep quiet about things the more days had passed. "Did something happen? What if-"
"Queen Mineah, Queen Dana is here to see you."
Her ears perked up as the Valcrezian guard currently stationed in her tent suddenly announced her mother’s presence. Almost immediately, she felt her hopes rise even as she did her best to squash them to spare herself the disappointment.
"Let her in," she ordered.
The guard nodded, and Mineah had to stop herself from crossing her arms as she waited for her mother to enter. Sure enough, Dana entered the room with the grace and dignity that was expected of someone of her stature.
"Thank you," her mother smoothly thanked the guard that helped her enter the tent.
"You may leave," Mineah quickly followed.
