Chapter 135: Breaking the blood bond.
Ren’s heart swelled with hope. What a brilliant idea.
Gloria had always been eager to learn, but lately, her determination had outpaced even Ren’s ability to keep up as a teacher. The girl had taken her studies to heart and now trained under Mr. Biken, who’d graciously guided her deeper into the world of knowledge. She had studied about the Fae.
"Is that even possible?" Ren asked, doubt lacing her voice as her gaze locked onto Agara.
His expression darkened. "I’m not sure. He wouldn’t accept the proposal if it came from me. I’ll have to share it with my father. Which means... I must tell him about you. It’s the only way to convince him to help the humans and shifters."
A chill crept down Ren’s spine like a whisper of wind through ancient trees. Too soon. It was far too soon for the Fae to know. But deep down, she understood—news like this would travel swiftly, with or without her consent.
"Let me speak with His Highness first," Ren said firmly. She couldn’t make a move without Kai’s knowledge, not when it came to the Fae. She didn’t know their customs or their temper. What if revealing her identity triggered an immediate response? What if they turned on her before she could explain?
She was supposed to deliver her mother’s message to the Fae King herself, but the thought of doing it without Kai beside her twisted her gut with unease.
"For now," Agara said gently, steering her away from her thoughts, "let us show you how the poison freezes vampire blood and slows their speed."
They turned back to the task at hand, diving into their work before heading out to Ogain’s nest. Today, Ren would finally witness him challenge Calisa in the sky.
Either time she had asked to watch him challenge Calisa before, Ogain had rejected, claiming he was working on special tactics. That little beast... he was far cleverer than she had ever imagined. He wanted to surprise her and show her how amazing he was.
Ren saw Calisa before the door, waving a hand for them.
