Chapter 426: Petty
Queen Mineah and King Nikolai had already left to go back to Valcrez, but Dani still felt uneasy as she stayed behind.
"Why aren’t you preparing?" Zaila asked her upon entering her tent. Are you not going with us?"
"I’m not sure," Dani replied. "Then again. I feel like going back to Valcrez too. I already visited my parents anyway..."
"Alright," Zaila nodded. "I’ll go look for Krisha outside then."
Watching Zaila leave her tent, Dani stood from her chair and decided that she would go back to Valcrez anyway. Sending word to Admiral Sixto for her intention to board his ship, she then began her preparations to leave, and she was on her way to look for her friends and bid them farewell when she passed by Abel.
"I’ve been looking for you," he told her with a wide smile.
Dani smiled back. It was honestly surprising to see how much Abel smiled whenever he was around her. It was almost like he was no longer mourning for Rosela whenever he was with her. But still, Dani quickly dismissed that thought recalling how she witnessed him crying for Rosela when he was unable to help her escape because of her own actions. She had used her spell against him, ordering him to go back to his residence and forbidding him from making any moves to help Rosela escape.
"And why are you looking for me?" Dani questioned him with lifted brows.
"I just wanted to see you. Is that too bad?" Abel chuckled. "Anyway, how long do you plan on staying here?"
