Chapter 417: A possible twin or swap
. "What did you choose then?" Abrielle asked Cedric. Based on his personality he was most likely going to fight. Cedric wasn’t a coward to continue hiding in the shadows, and no kingdom wants to hide someone as dangerous as him.
"I am fighting for the throne, it is the only choice for me, but I think maybe Rebecca is right as much as the thought of being away from you is." He said with certainty, like it was the only option for him, but she didn’t expect him to consider letting her go. It was unexpected and she could sense the contemplation in his tone. Cedric didn’t want to send her away.
She moved from his hands, puzzled, he was the same one against the idea.
"What changed Cedric?"
Cedric sighed. "I am hearing rumours I hope are not true but lies."
Her heart started beating fast. "Is Lucian heading here already?" Abrielle’s stomach squeezed; she was certain her family would be able to hide them from Lucian, but it was still a bad idea.
"If only it were that simple?" Cedric sighed. There was something he wanted to say, but he felt hesitant about it. "Then what is it? Don’t leave me in tension just like that."
Cedric got off the bed and started pacing by the side. He was being troubled by something. "Why was I out there? I gathered information and have confirmed that Lucian will be arriving here at any time." He admitted.
"That isn’t a problem, my parents would hide us long enough to escape the crossfire after all, no one saw us coming in here and the servant would dare not speak."
