Chapter 196: You Are Not Alone
"I’m not sure how good I’m at my theory but what if that energy was actually the light energy and it just lost control when it tasted her blood?" Kenric put forward his opinion and looked at his brothers to see what their reactions were.
While Annalise looked somewhat confused about tge sudden mention of ’light energy’, Valerius and Damien actually seemed to be thinking about the possibility of Kenric’s hypothesis.
"This does kind of make sense but what about the fact that the energy is trying to keep us from seeing her memory of the incident?" Damien questioned after he was done thinking about his younger brother’s theory.
"Maybe because of our identity as dark as?" Kenric suggested again and it seemed like his words once again made good sense in context to the entire scenario as both his brothers nodded their heads slightly in acceptance of his theory.
"Wait!" Valerius suddenly spoke as if he was suddenly hit by a sudden realization. He looked between both his brothers as he stated, "Did you both just skip the part where she told us about the tree being black? That’s not the color of light."
Realization seemed to dawn over both Kenric and Damien, the former even looking a little bit embarrassed for not paying attention to such grave information.
"My Lords, I’m still here. Can you all please explain to me something about what you all are talking about?" Annalise finally spoke up when she realized that the three men were almost on their way to having their own private conversation.
The men immediately turned their attention to her and the serious looks on their faces only made her more curious about their entire conversation. What really piqued her attention was the words ’light energy’ that they just mentioned.
While Damien and Kenric chose to remain silent, Valerius was the one who spoke in response, "Nevermind since it’s not a possibility here."
"But..." Annalise was about to protest for being left in the dark but got stopped when Valerius shook his head and signaled her to not persuade the matter any longer.
"I know that you are curious about something in particular and I promise that I’ll explain it to you about it sometime soon in the future but right now is not the time. We have a bigger and much more serious problem on our hands to take care of at the moment, let’s focus on it for now."
