Chapter 94 - 93. Promises To Keep (2)
"So, what are we going to do now?" Lady Dahlia asked.
"Plan B." I announced.
"You all take positions, I will go and see the Beast myself."
"All right, I’ll go inform the troops." Hael quickly left with Eikir in tow.
I stayed back in the room with Lady Dahlia feeling my guilt still poking at my conscience. I should have investigated thoroughly and looked everywhere else as well. Alarice must be alive so, I would have sensed his Aura somewhere around the palace.
"What are you thinking?" Lady Dahlia asked.
"I should have looked at other places too, I’m sorry... I was too arrogant, I’m still weak." I admitted and she patted my head.
"Don’t worry, I’m happy that you stayed by my son’s side and gave him hope. Now that he’s here, I’m dying to see him." She smiled with her eyes glistening making me feel even more guilty.
"I will find His Grace at all costs," I said.
"He must be there somewhere, Salem wouldn’t have... done something with him just yet. Even the members of Revolutionary Army were alive even when they were badly tortured. His Grace must be alive just..." I looked at her as I added my further words with a little caution, "just in a lot of pain."
I saw her jaw clenching before she closed her eyes and then slowly relaxed and looked at me.
