Chapter 186: Trip to Vesper 2
Their trip back to the Capital was peaceful, they had embarked on the journey in the early hours of the morning and arrived at the seaside castle where Cedric was resident late in the afternoon.
Abrielle had lunch as soon as they arrived while Cedric had to leave the castle immediately to handle some important matters relating to his upcoming trip. He had a lot to handle, especially now Lucian was still recovering, although news had it he would be back in prime health in a few days, the same as Callista.
They both overworked themselves the day of the fire due to the developments the investigation relating to the winter hunt and the sorcerers were put on hold.
At times, she felt bad for Cedric; he was a devil set out to make her life a living hell, that’s for sure, but it was a bit sad knowing despite all his efforts and contributions to the kingdom, he was never appreciated for it.
Only the clanking sounds of crockeries and cutleries could be heard in the dining room as Abrielle ate her lunch lightly chewing her food. She missed the meals she had back on earth and wished Darconia delicacy were more spicy, but unfortunately,, she was stuck eating this.
The journey from Vatalis to Vesper took 3 - 2 weeks, meaning to and fro was going to be over a month. "He is going to be gone for over 6 weeks," Abrielle muttered; it might be 2 months, and Cedric will have to stay in Vesper for some days going to weeks due to his assignment.
Abrielle dropped her cutleries and then picked up the napkin to dab her lips. "What about dessert?" The server asked her. Abrielle did not have the best appetite; she didn’t feel like having any more.
"I will pass on it. I am exhausted and need to rest after my trip." She informed the servant. Abrielle rose from her seat and made her way out of the dining room.
She arrived at her chambers, and the first thing that caught her attention was the meowing sounds of an angry fellow who was mad at its owner who abandoned it for weeks.
