Chapter 442: To Protect All Her Might
It had been a while since Abel had seen Dani. Many things happened since then, and just when he thought he would have enough time to see his future wife, something unexpected arrived. Somehow, Zoran had brought the wanted warlock with him. And since the position of the Minister of Justice was still vacant, Abel was the one taking charge of it while a replacement was being sought out.
"My marriage is in three days, My King, " he reminded the King as soon as he met him in his office.
"Don’t worry, we won’t take long," Nikolai chuckled. "Lady Dani and Lady Zaila will be leaving on one of our fastest fleets before sunset. I’m sure you’ll get to her tomorrow morning in your mist form before she even wakes up."
Abel could only shrug as he looked at Fritz who was casually fanning himself as usual. "Tsk, what a bystander. Can you make yourself more useful and get a high-ranking position to help and be more productive?" he clicked his tongue at him. "You already lost your luck in solving puzzles and tracking people down that Zoran got Nimue first."
"Hah! He just got ahead of me for a few seconds!" Fritz scoffed. "We were almost there to catch Nimue!"
"And yet you still didn’t," Abel pointed out.
"Why do I have a feeling that you’re sticking your nose at me more often these days?" Fritz remarked with a scoff. "You’ve been nagging me a lot lately, Abel. Do I need to remind you that I’m still your progenitor and that I can exactly do what I want with you? Just because I’m being generous with you doesn’t give you the right to scold me!"
Abel rolled his eyes at Fritz. He had been with him for three centuries now. He knew his threats against him were all but empty words.
"What did I even say wrong? You’re a talented man, and you can be more productive here inside the palace than going out and roaming around," Abel reasoned. "We have more than enough scions for such simple tasks."
