Chapter 386: Saving The New Life Form
Time ticked by with no sign of Kiev and Anna’s return, and the knights guarding the mansion grew increasingly uneasy. Noah approached Eric with a worried expression.
"Sir Navin, how much longer must we wait? Shouldn’t we go after them now?" he asked, concerned.
After a moment’s pause, Eric responded, "We must trust in His Highness Prince Kiev’s promise to bring her back safely. Pursuing them now could expose us to unnecessary danger."
Garin then spoke up, "But what about the people concealed within the mansion? Do they still need to remain in hiding?"
Eric contemplated the question, his brow furrowing.
"Mrs Amares, too, doesn’t seem well," Luke noted, glancing with worry towards where Callis sat, Sylvia dabbing at her brow with a handkerchief.
"I’m fine," Callis insisted, her voice wavering. "Don’t worry about me."
The strain of expending so much magic in her healing state had now taken a significant toll. The Mederian Princess required a period of total bed rest to allow her body to replenish the depleted mana reserves.
However, the tense situation in the mansion prevented her from getting the restorative rest she so desperately needed.
"You’re not fine, Mrs Amares," Damon said. "You need your husband."
Drystan nodded in agreement.
