Chapter 201: The Shocking News
Nikolai stared at the glass of wine in his hand then his grasp tightened till the glass broke. Blood dripped from his hand but he couldn’t care less. Right now he was at a total loss after everything Mineah had told him.
"She sure harbors so many secrets," he weakly muttered. Then he let out a sarcastic chuckle followed by a curse as he recalled how he passed out twice while they were making love. It turned out she was taking his energy to save his brother...
alas, that was not his brother but Vulcan! The one responsible not only for his father’s death but many of their kind.
Nikolai closed his eyes as he tried to calm himself. He wasn’t sure as to what he was feeling right now but one thing was certain, he was a total mess. He wanted some time alone, which is why, here he was, alone inside this solitary cave of his at Mount Orion. The insides of the cave were rebuilt for it to be comfortable enough to live in. And Nikolai personally did the changes in it and put on things he wanted to be inside of it.
No one knew of that place except for Fritz, Abel, and Ezme. He was actually planning to show this place to Mineah once they returned to the palace but things became so busy the moment they arrived because of all the pending works and unexpected events.
Nikolai released a long sigh as he stared at the blood on his hand. His wound had already healed so he simply wiped the blood off.
He was about to leave when he suddenly felt someone trying to reach him through the raven which he dispatched to lurk in places he and Zoran had an encounter.
"Zoran," he muttered as he let him in to communicate with him through the raven he marked.
Their conversation didn’t last long before Nikolai felt the raven’s connection was cut off. It was already dead. His face dimmed as he hissed, "Does he have to kill it?!"
