Chapter 107: Magical Artifacts
Days passed for Tarah like a dream, with Ezekiel always finding time to spend with her, sometimes even sneaking away from his duties to be by her side.
"Are you ready, milady? You’re requested in the dining hall of Jade Palace for dinner. Queen Mineah and King Nikolai will be present," Cora informed her. Tarah nodded, and she quickly walked with Cora to Jade Palace.
On their way, they passed Ezekiel’s working chamber. "Is he still working?" Tarah asked curiously.
"Yes, there’s a lot to do for the coming coronation," Cora replied. Tarah simply nodded in understanding. Cora escorted her to the doors of the dining hall and excused herself. Tarah proceeded alone inside, where King Stephan and Queen Dana were already seated.
"Your Majesties," she greeted them politely with a bow.
"Please take your seat, Tarah," King Stephan said.
As soon as she was seated, Queen Dana inquired, "How is your teleportation spell coming along?"
"I’ve managed to perfect it, Your Majesty," Tarah replied with a half-smile. Dana nodded approvingly and remarked, "That’s good. I hope it comes in handy for you when the need arises."
Soon, the royal guard announced the arrival of King Nikolai and Queen Mineah. Tarah exchanged courteous greetings with them, her eyes lingering a bit longer on King Nikolai. In one of her visions, she had seen Queen Mineah using magical items in her possession. With the queen’s birthday approaching, Tarah thought it best to hand them over to King Nikolai instead, briefing him on the visions she had involving him and his wife.
