Chapter 75: Teleportation
Annalise drank the warm tea that helped her in calming down, not like she needed it after spending time with Valerius. The man accompanied her as they both had lunch and while she tried to invite Kenric and Damian too, both of them denied her. Of course, the latter barely gave her any attention.
"Will we be able to cross the forest today?" She asked Valerius as she finished her tea and set the cup down before closing her eyes and casting a cleaning spell to wrap up everything, it was one of the first spells that she learned during her childhood.
"I don’t think so. The weather is unpredictable inside the Enchanted Forest and we will surely encounter some difficulties on our way. Besides, we won’t be traveling at night, so it’s impossible to cross the forest before tomorrow evening." Valerius answered as he helped her in collecting all the food and repacking them for their further journey.
The two of them worked in silence for a while and were soon done with the work. The sun was high in the sky and within a few minutes, they would be ready to restart with their journey.
Damian had once again disappeared somewhere and Kenric was still busy with his daggers. The latter had been constantly looking in their direction but hadn’t tried to either speak to them or approach them even once which kind of confused Annalise.
"Is he alright?" She found herself asking as she turned her attention from Kenric to Valerius who was sitting beside her.
Valerius spared a quick look in Kenric’s direction before he responded, "As good as he can be."
"Really?" Annalise once again looked in Kenric’s direction but even after the assurance from Valerius, she felt like there was something off about Kenric. "He seems..." She wasn’t sure exactly what it was that she was finding different about him so she ended up trailing off without finishing her sentence.
"Don’t worry about him. He will be back to normal in no time." Valerius assured her as he handed her a little white flower that was growing in the grass where they were currently sitting. It was so tiny, barely the size of her nails.
Annalise smoked as she looked at the tiny flower and then started playing with it as she had nothing else to do. As her eyes ran through their surroundings, a question suddenly popped into her mind. "Why aren’t using your teleportation powers to travel to Lakeshire?"
That was right! Her husbands were powerful enough to teleport which would save a lot of time and energy, but they had decided to travel on horses and carriage, it didn’t make any sense to her.
