Chapter 168: My wife is magical
Alaric couldn’t see the tears in Ember’s eyes. Though it was against the rules to go against the witch’s curse, for Ember’s happiness he would defy any rule or even any law.
"Mrs. Langford, I will save your husband." He was quick to rise to his feet and forwarded a handkerchief to her. "Please wipe your tears," he said.
Ember thanked him as she took the handkerchief from him. She wiped her tears with it and saw Alaric settle back on his seat.
"I’ll see Mrs. Langford tomorrow. Jasper, please escort her back safely," Alaric instructed. Ember stood up from her place and bowed to him, thanking him one more time. She left with Jasper while Alaric decided to talk with Izaak about this.
He knew Izaak would reprimand him, but for Ember’s happiness, he needed to get the cure. Going back to his study, Alaric couldn’t focus on the work. Slumping back into the chair, Alaric felt that he should have gone with Ember to her home.
"Your Highness, why did you agree to help Mrs. Langford? The curses aren’t cured easily," Jasper’s voice reached his ear, making Alaric gaze at him. "Mrs. Ember left in the carriage," he informed.
"Did you not see how much vulnerable Ember looked?" Alaric asked.
"I saw. However, the witch, who lost her daughter if finds out that His Highness will cure Mr. Langford, then I don’t think that will be good," Jasper asserted. "She may take out the anger on you," he proclaimed.
"I will find the way to tackle everything," Alaric stated. "Is Prince Izaak free? I would like to see him," he expressed.
Jasper realized Alaric would not even care for his life when it came to Ember. If the witch got mad, she might put that life-threatening curse on Alaric. He didn’t wish it to happen.
"Pardon me, Prince Alaric. But so many people die of curses. You don’t save everyone," Jasper commented. Though it was harsh, it was also a bitter truth.
