Chapter 128: Eavesdropping
The last thing that Annalise expected to happen to her was to find herself back in Millerville City in less than twenty-four hours since the last time she was there. The only difference was that, unlike the previous time, her husbands were not with her this time.
Her head was still spinning from the speed at which they had crossed the forest and arrived at the city right before sunset. While she found it funny that those dragon shifters rode horses at such speed to reach their destination instead of flying, she could also understand exactly why they did it.
The current citizens of the Mortal Realm and the Seelie Empire had been living their normal lives completely for centuries by now. Ever since the Midnight Realm went into seclusion after the destruction of the Seelie Realm, no one had heard or seen much of those who carried the real elemental powers.
So, in a world where people had become used to thinking of dragons, mermaids, faes, and other Seelie blood races as nothing more than just legends that used to exist at some point in the history of their world, imagine the shock that they would receive when they would suddenly see a bunch of dragons flying in the sky. Such a sight would sure create a wave of not only amazement and surprise but also panic and fear through the hearts of the general public.
"What are we doing here?" Leela asked Ezra and his men as they entered a huge inn that was undoubtedly one of the best in the city.
"We would rest here for the night before continuing with our journey in the morning. Is it alright for you two to share a room?" Ezra answered before asking a question in return.
"Where are you all even going? Mind to share?" Leela questioned while ignoring his question completely.
The man let out a sigh as he signaled his companions to book rooms with the manager before he returned his attention to Leela, those two seemed to have started disliking each other because of their constant clashing.
"We tried to track the person who tried to trespass into Sky Castle and found his traces leading to the south, so that’s exactly where we would be heading in the morning but for now, my men and our horses need some rest."
