Chapter 97: Her Emotions
Tarah wore a timid smile as she entered the royal family dinner area at Rose Palace, with Cora trailing behind her. Inside, she noticed Ezekiel already seated with his parents. Princess Ezme and Commander Atlas were present as well, along with another man Tarah had seen in her vision regarding Cora.
"That’s the Duke of the South, Duke Apollo. Prince Ezekiel’s cousin," Cora whispered behind her. Tarah wanted to tease Cora but refrained, respecting her friend’s desire to keep her visions private.
Purposely, Tarah held Cora’s hand, anticipating that Cora would excuse herself once they approached the table.
"Milady?" Cora inquired with a frown.
Tarah winked at her and simply said, "You’re already my sister, right? Eat with me."
"Oh, finally! I’ll be able to meet our kingdom’s new fated Seer," Apollo remarked eagerly, even pulling out a chair for her.
"Cora, sit there," Ezekiel instructed, and Cora complied. Ezekiel then pulled out a chair for Tarah to sit beside him instead. After both Tarah and Corah greeted everyone with a curt bow, they took their seats.
"Hmm, it’s kinda weird," Apollo remarked as he observed Atlas and Ezme sitting together opposite him.
"Apollo, stop rambling nonsense..." King Stephan scolded.
