Chapter 128: No One But You
Before the sun went down, Tarah immediately prepared dinner for Ezekiel. Knowing his love for beef, she started cooking a hearty beef stew with carrots and potatoes, with Cora assisting her along the way.
"Milady, I have a task to brief you on what’s going on in the kingdom. King Ezekiel said you’ll need all the information so you won’t get confused when he introduces you to the inner court. But he told me to do it whenever you’re not busy. I wonder when we can start?" Cora asked as she handed Tarah the potatoes and carrots she had finished cutting.
"Hmm, I will be very busy this week, Cora, so how about next week?" Tarah answered with a faint smile.
She couldn’t help but feel a pang of sadness, knowing that she wouldn’t be here next week. Tomorrow, Ezekiel, together with Nikolai and Zoran, would penetrate Helion to retrieve the magical books. But there was more to it... Ezekiel wanted to kill Devon if he saw even a slim chance of doing it.
Tarah’s premonition revealed that Devon’s demise wouldn’t occur tomorrow, but it was undoubtedly inevitable and would ultimately be at Ezekiel’s hands.
"That’s great then. I’m too excited," Cora hummed with a giggle. Tarah bit her inner cheek, already feeling the pang of longing for Cora, her trusted companion and friend since she had joined Ezekiel’s household.
After some time, Tarah finished cooking and then prepared a delightful assortment of freshly cut fruits and sweet desserts.
"You’re such a wife material, milady. I mean, is there anything you can’t do?" Cora praised after tasting everything Tarah prepared in the dining area.
"You’re exaggerating," Tarah hummed with a smile.
