Chapter 229: Before the Full Moon
Mineah was the first to arrive at the bedchamber and get ready for bed. Unfortunately for her, Nikolai was still outside. He was currently in close coordination with every part of the Valcrez government, ensuring that the same incident in the province of Norma wouldn’t happen again. There were so many things left to do, and yet Mineah didn’t feel weary just looking at them knowing that she and Nikolai were in this together.
[Are you going to sleep already?] Nikolai suddenly asked her through their bond.
[Not yet, Lai. I still have to discuss things with Mother and Wizard Lurio,] she replied. [Either way, I’m sure I’ll still be awake waiting for you to come back home.]
[Alright, I’ll see you soon,] Nikolai hummed. [I love you...]
Mineah just melted at his words as she smiled all alone inside their bedchamber. [I love you too,] she bashfully replied.
She gently patted her cheeks as she relished at how hot it felt. She might’ve looked silly right now, but she simply couldn’t help but squeal in excitement. She was so grateful that she and Nikolai were doing good now. In fact, she felt so light and inspired despite all the problems that she knew awaited them that she didn’t even care what would happen next.
Humming to herself, she meditated and instructed her pet pigeon Lily to connect her to her Mother. They were both bound to Lily, which was how the two of them could easily communicate with the pigeon as their medium.
[Lily, please tell Mother to connect through you,] Mineah instructed. [I need to talk to her.]
[Yes, Master,] Lily quickly answered before promptly relaying the message.
