Chapter 94: Rumors
This time, Ezekiel didn’t ride inside the carriage with Tarah. Instead, he let Cora accompany her, while he rode his horse at the front alongside his men.
Releasing a heavy sigh, Ezekiel focused on the road ahead as they entered the Capital City. As usual, every Ebodian greeted their banner with respect, bowing down as their convoy passed by. Petals were thrown and scattered on the roads, and everyone cheered loudly and hailed him, the crown prince, for their victory over the Helion forces.
"I wonder how they would react once they found out about the dragon inside of me," Ezekiel thought. Eventually, things would also come to light about the dragon spirit within him, and it was just a matter of time. He only needed to make precise plans on how to reveal this fact so that his people would come to accept it.
"Long live the King and Queen!"
"Long live the Crown Prince!!!"
The cheered continued and despite this, Ezekiel’s mind drifted over Tarah. He truly didn’t want to rush her or be too forward, but he also didn’t see the point in hiding his feelings for her, especially in front of his own family, whom he trusted the most. What he felt for her was not a mistake he should be sorry for. His only concern was that he hoped Tarah would give him an answer soon before things got more complicated.
Unknowingly, a smile crept onto his face. Truly, having Vulcan’s power had a great advantage for him, especially when his senses became stronger and more distinct.
He was confident that Tarah felt the same way for him too. The attraction was mutual. He could see it in her eyes and feel how her heartbeat synced perfectly with his whenever they were together.
Now, the only thing he was worried about was what Tarah’s final choice would be. If only Vulcan had the power to read minds as well, then that would have been perfect!
