Chapter 178: Learned to move on
Alora had her head resting on the window of the carriage. During the entire journey to her home, she didn’t utter a single word with Magnus. She didn’t blame Dolores for giving them a chance, but the situation was too complex, which would put any person in a dilemma.
As she entered the room with Magnus, Alora spoke up, "Brother Alaric gave words to Ember that he would help her. What will happen now? Also, I think Brother Alaric will always remain in regret if Mrs. Ember dies," she said and turned around to look at Magnus with a worried glance.
"Brother Alaric has turned into a fooled lover. Instead of making Ember understand, he promised her to find a solution. Dolores will never give the remedy for that curse," Magnus stated. He looked confident as if he already knew what was in Dolores’ mind.
Alora’s heart sank to hear that. "I understand Lady Dolores. As a mother, it’s tough for her to forgive Mr. Caden, who accidentally killed her daughter," she murmured and went to the nearest chair to sit on it.
"It wasn’t our place to intervene. For the sake of Alaric, we did. Izaak wasn’t happy either with the way Dolores treated us. We are the royals after all," Magnus proclaimed. No one dared to disrespect them. Just because he was a witch, they had to stop themselves from giving a punishment to her.
He sat before her on the bed. Taking off the scarf from his neck along with the broach, he gazed at Alora. "Not everything can be forgiven and not everyone can be saved. There’s a thin line between life and death, Alora. If Ember has such a fate, then she has to accept it," he asserted.
Alora hummed and lowered her head. "Sadly, she and her kids have to suffer," she murmured.
"Yes. You can say that’s the fate of theirs," Magnus stated.
"I hope Brother Alaric doesn’t remain in a guilt trap," Alora opined with a disturbed gaze.
