Chapter 146: To Edward
The Goddess immediately stopped in her tracks, I wanted to praise her, but why does it sound like an insult?
Maybe it was simply out of habit, she got used to being so casual with Adeline she stopped using her very ’extra’ way of wording things. She got used to Adeline teasing her and vice versa. It was very hard to praise someone you are used to teasing!
Adeline made her decision. She couldn’t keep this to herself, and she certainly couldn’t stage a robbery now. Taking a deep breath, she left the study and began waking the household. The servants who woke up were very confused.
One part of her felt like it was not her fault, she was not the one acting like a freaking psychopath! Edward was! But then she also felt that it was because of her meddling that indirectly caused this whole mess.
So how much blame should she actually carry? Should she simply say, well they are just characters of a story, they are not real and move on? But that would mean her father and brother’s love for her was not real... That was not a thought she was willing to entertain.
Because of her, they missed a whole day of work! They were behind schedule! Seeing them run to finish their tasks Adeline felt guilty. This wasn’t her intention. She told them to consider this a day off and take it easy.
She woke up Aaron before waking up Alaric. She slowly walked towards his room. She was extremely nervous! "Alaric!" She called out to wake him up.
He gasped and woke up. His reaction make Adeline frown, he sounded like a sleep-deprived mother! He stumbled out of his room, his hair dishevelled and his expression groggy. "Adeline? What’s going on?"
He opened the curtains to see what time it was because he couldn’t believe his eyes! The Sun was setting! He rubbed his eyes again, how could he be so sure it wasn’t rising...
He looked out again, no, it was setting alright. Was he... Asleep the entire day?!
"So... To catch you up... I put you guys to sleep, I snuck out, I got new powers and I woke you up. Alrighty, onto the main agenda now-" Adeline quickly wanted to skim over her war crimes but Alaric would not let her go that easily.
