Chapter 212: The Coronation
Another chilling morning came, but the coldness of the weather didn’t bother Mineah more than the emptiness she was feeling because she was away from her husband. She knew they were together yesterday, and yet it still felt like it had already been forever since she last saw him. She missed him that desperately.
[Lai, good morning,] she spoke through their bond, fully expecting to not receive a reply from him. [I miss you...]
She let out another sigh. Still, she was already glad that somehow, Nikolai was keeping her in the loop regarding Dahlia’s matters like last night. He had allowed her to witness his conversation with the woman based on her observations. And judging from what she heard, it looked like Dahlia had something special going on with the warlock Zoran with how she begged Nikolai to save the man.
To her surprise, seeing Dahlia’s emotions about Zoran honestly put her more at ease. In truth, she was worried to face another Rosela in the future. However, it would seem that Dahlia already had someone that she cherished more than Nikolai. Still, that didn’t mean she should stop wooing her husband to forgive her.
Mineah sighed yet again before she once more tried talking to Nikolai through their bond. [Again, I’m really sorry. I promise I’ll never make the same mistake again,] she sincerely apologized. [I’ll tell you everything in the future, regardless of the hesitation I might have just so the two of us can talk and figure things out TOGETHER...]
Currently, she was having breakfast with her family, and yet she was busy inside her head updating her husband with what she was doing despite not receiving any response from him.
[I’m having breakfast with my family at the moment. Ezekiel is hell-bent on killing Devon, and we’re planning on retrieving the Ancient Book of the Dragons. My mother and Wizard Lurio believe that we’ll find more answers there, especially regarding the possibility of extracting Vulcan’s Soul from my brother,] she lengthily stated.
[I know it sounds impossible, but we can’t just give up. After all, I want you also to exact justice against Vulcan. Ezekiel wants the same thing, and he’s doing everything on his part to fight against Vulcan’s soul.]
"Are you going to the procession?" King Stephan asked her, interrupting her from her stupor.
