Chapter 321: Something Was Amiss
Instead of Nikolai traveling all the way to Ebodia, Ezekiel suggested that he should be the one to travel to Valcrez instead and personally discuss matters with Nikolai. Her brother also wanted to personally meet and talk to Zoran, knowing how Zoran had served the demon king before.
Mineah was so excited to see her brother again, knowing that Tarah would be with him. According to Nikolai, Ezekiel would be traveling with Tarah and the Wizard Lurio through the latter’s teleportation spell.
She was in the middle of discussing something with Zaila while sitting on one of the tables near the inner courtyard of the palace when Nikolai reached out to her through their bond.
[Ezekiel is here, Mine. Let me come and pick you up quickly,] Nikolai informed her and before Mineah could even protest, Nikolai was already before them.
"Your Majesty," Zaila politely greeted him and then quickly excused herself to leave. MIneah nodded.
As soon as Zaila left, Mineah stood up and Nikolai quickly carried her in his arms. In a flash, they arrived inside the secret and private chamber where her brother and the others were.
"Big Brother!" Mineah exclaimed, quickly greeting her brother with a hug and exchanging courteous greetings with everyone.
Nikolai also formally introduced Zoran to Ezekiel and the rest
"I know him. I almost killed him and roasted him alive on the battlefield if not for Tarah who had stopped me," Ezekiel stoically commented. His gaze turned dark and menacing as he fixed it on Zoran, prompting Mineah to pivot and trace Zoran’s line of sight.
She found Zoran keenly staring at Tarah. "Have we met somewhere?" Zoran asked, his gaze unwavering, fixed on Tarah, "You look familiar."
"Is she?" Ezekiel interrupted with a grim face. Mineah frowned at the tension that her brother was exuding. Unfortunately, she was unable to read Ezekiel and Tarah’s thoughts but the same couldn’t be said for Zoran.
