Chapter 246: Establish a Strong Bond
Back in the palace, Dahlia continued to busy herself with different duties that were assigned to her in order to keep herself occupied. Last night, she was expecting Zoran to come see her, hoping he had somehow heard about how the conversation between her and the Seer of Ebodia went down, yet he never came. She yawned as she focused on the documents she received from Dani and began sorting them out.
Dahlia released a heavy sigh as she gently caressed the bangle she was wearing. Her mind and heart were plagued with worry for Zoran. "Come back to me soon, please. I miss you," she murmured as she stared at the bangle. She said this, deeply hoping that Zoran was somehow listening.
’I’m sure he’d come back to me as soon as he’s able to,’ she mused to herself as she tried her best to clear her head from the vision which the Seer had mentioned, the one about Zoran dying.
"Lady Dahlia," she heard Krisha call her from behind.
She turned towards her and then greeted her with a curt nod, "Lady Krisha."
"Apologies for disturbing you, but I thought it’s best to let you know that your Mother has arrived, she’s currently waiting for you in the east wing pavilion. I’ll walk you to her," Krisha informed. Dahlia nodded as her eyes lit up at the thought of seeing her mother again. It had been a while and since they had last been together as she understood the security the king and queen had to implore around her.
She immediately walked alongside Krisha towards the east wing. "Your mother has been crying since the moment she received the news. I heard as well that she hasn’t stopped sobbing up till now. Here, you might need this," Krisha said, Dahlia had looked over to her to see that Krisha’s hand was extended, holding out handkerchiefs.
Dahlia chuckled at this and said, "Thank you Lady Krisha. You’re all so warm and kind towards me. I am incredibly blessed to have all of you around me during this time."
"You’re a good person too, Dahlia. And I do hope that everything turns out well for you, although there are no reassurances for the future, it always helps to look towards the bright side of things. For now, we hope that you enjoy your time with your Mother, despite this being inside the confines of the Corvus Palace." Krisha said with a wink.
