Chapter 11: Take Control
"Although things might seem to be preordained, that doesn’t mean that we will force you to do things against your will, Tarah. You can always go and free yourself from all of this," Ezekiel finally spoke, not blinking as he continued to stare at Tarah.
"Yes... A Seer is a big help to our kingdom, but I think it’s also already time that we stop relying solely on them. You are free from this obligation, and we won’t force you to stay with us in Ebodia."
"Brother..."
"Prince Ezekiel..."
Both Xenia and Lurio gasped in sequence. It shouldn’t be like this.
"If Ebodia doesn’t want you, then how about you come with me after this war ends?" Ezme quickly issued a counteroffer with a wide smile.
She was obviously delighted to witness a seer work first hand. "The Kingdom of Valcrez will welcome you with arms wide open, dear. You will be pampered and well-protected to your heart’s content."
"But I want to serve Ebodia... I can feel it in my heart that this is why I was called here. Ebodia is calling for me," Tarah whispered with a shaky voice. She then looked directly at Ezekiel and whispered, "I’ve been seeing you in my dreams..."
Staring at the scene in front of him, Ezekiel was honestly torn about what to do. He purposely said those words because he didn’t want Tarah to stay in their kingdom.
