Chapter 171: Wedding
Mineah passed out because of the powerful inner energy surging within her. It had been activated by her relentless determination to save her brother, Ezekiel. She knew that her body was trying to adjust to this newfound energy and in the process had lost her consciousness.
However, the unleashed power held the potential to become an abomination, both to herself and the world, if she failed to harness and control it. She felt like the pieces of the puzzle regarding her curse were jumbled at this rate and it was a struggle putting it back together. Tarah’s cryptic messages only added to the confusion, hinting at connections she couldn’t fully comprehend and saying the word sacrifice...
"You seem to be in deep thought, Mine," Nikolai observed during a momentary silence in their journey to Cordon using Nikolai’s mist form.
Yes, she was indeed in deep thought. It honestly felt like her head would burst at any moment. Her guilty conscience kept her from feeling at ease.
The only positive about her current situation was that she had successfully fused Ezekiel’s spirit back to his body just like Tarah had foreseen in her vision.
The circumstances demanded her to be cautious. Ezekiel’s transformation back to his human form would take days or even weeks and the first five days were crucial. So, she decided to wait and find the right moment to share everything with her husband.
"Mine," Nikolai called for her attention again.
"Yes, Lai. I was simply taking a moment to recharge so that I’ll be in good shape when I congratulate my sister," she answered to which Nikolai nodded and let her have her quiet.
There was silence throughout their journey. Mineah was only able to fully breathe when they arrived at Cordon. Since it was her first time setting foot into Castle Cordon, she was in awe of its grandeur, even without extravagant decorations adorning its stone walls and interior. The sheer size and strength of the castle spoke of its historical significance and the power it held.
