Chapter 156: Power from the sun
Abrielle gripped her hand as she tried to stabilize the heartbeat. She was nervous after getting a glimpse of his intense stare she should not have stared at him.
"Is anything wrong your highness?" She heard Zoltana’s voice boomed drawing her attention to the maid. "Not really. I think Cedric might have seen me ", she replied.
"So he is back," Zoltana mentioned in a fleeting moment, going back to what she was doing. She didn’t seem bothered by Cedric; Abrielle moved from the window and moved towards Zoltana, who was scribbling some strange symbols on the floor.
Her guess was correct that it was a magic circle. "How long will it take?" She asked Zoltana. "I am almost done," Zoltana said not taking her eyes off the inscriptions she was drawing on one floor.

Zoltana finally stood up, moving a few steps away from the intricate designs. "I think that is it." She mentioned then glanced at Abrielle.
"Are you ready?" She asked the princess, who hesitantly nodded. Abrielle’s gaze was focused on the inscriptions, her lips slowly parting. "Is there anything I need to know first before proceeding?" She asked just to be safe.

"Let us proceed," she instructed, bringing Abrielle to the centre of the magic circle, where she sat with her legs crossed.
