Chapter 736: Hidden Motives
She could not shake the feeling that there was more at stake here than just what they originally intended.
Princess Seraphina’s words seemed to hint at something else. Especially about the change she mentioned she wanted in Crux.
Even as she tried to push it to the back of her thoughts in the meantime, Arabella was consumed by a persistent sense that the unfolding events held greater significance than they initially thought.
Thus, she decided to reread Seraphina’s letters to her.
As she kept rereading, Princess Seraphina’s cryptic words and eagerness to meet hinted at undisclosed motives. Something she could not disclose if not in person, particularly concerning what she and her companions were seeking for Crux.
Arabella could tell it was so much bigger. And the fate of countless lives hung in the balance.
’Should I really be involved in this? What if this turns out to be a wrong decision?’
Arabella felt the weight of responsibility on her shoulders. However, she knew she had to push through with the meeting.
It wasn’t merely the fate of the Prudencians that concerned her, but also the ripple effects on those embarking on the rescue mission and the knights and soldiers poised for conflict with Crux.
After all, not only the Prudencians but likewise the lives of those who would go and try to find them. Plus, their knights and soldiers who would go to war with Crux could be affected in this as well.
With how Princess Seraphina spoke in her letter, it was also as if the life of a lot of people in Crux might be hanging onto this meeting.
