The Veil of Darkness

Chapter 130: In The Middle of the Night



Annalise was pulled out of her thoughts when she heard movement outside in the hallway. She hurriedly put back everything in the pouch before securely placing the pouch inside her previous pouch that was still dangling on her waist before she moved toward the door of her room right as someone started knocking on it.

As she opened the door, she was surprised to find a very angry-looking Leela standing there. The girl barged inside as room as the door opened, leaving one of the dragon shifters, who had followed her to the room, standing there at the entrance.

Annalise quickly shared a look between the two of them before she turned her full attention to the man and questioned, "What’s going on? What happened to her?"

The man let out a deep sigh as he shook his head before answering. "Don’t worry too much, My Lady. It’s just the usual shit between her and Ezra. It seems like these two are born to piss each other off. I’ll be taking my leave now."

Annalise found herself nodding her head as she quickly spared a glance at Leela who was sitting in the farthest corner of the bed. She was about to close the door when the man returned and stopped her midway. "What is it?"

"My lady, Ezra asked me to inform you that we will be leaving right at dawn. Please have an early rest." The man bowed his head politely before he walked away.

She watched the man until his silhouette disappeared from her sight and only when she was sure that he won’t be returning, did she close the door and moved toward the bed where Leela was perched in the corner with her eyes glaring at the wall.

Without saying anything or asking any questions, she just silently started getting ready for bed as she took off her jewelry and let her hair loose which was a mass of curls because of keeping them braided for the entire day, still the curls only made them look prettier.

Instead of the white dress that she had been wearing throughout the day, she changed into a set of loose silk trousers and a matching cover-up. Changing her socks and after running a wet cloth over her face, hands, and around her neck, she finally headed toward the bed and hurriedly climbed under the sheets.

Leela, who had been silently watching her all this while finally decided to speak up, "Are you not going to ask what really happened back there?" She sounded quite a lot less agitated compared to when she first returned to the room.

Annalise turned to her side to face the girl as she rested her head against the pillow comfortably and replied, "What is there to ask? That man already explained that you fought with Ezra."

Leela let out a sigh as she clicked her fingers and her clothes magically turned into a comfortable night dress but fore she too moved under the covers and laid down on the bed while facing Annalise. "That man seriously gets on my nerves. At this rate, we will surely end up killing each other."
