Both Edna and Geralt were inexperienced. So, the whole process was slow and took a long time.Curtis was waiting anxiously outside the room. The room had good soundproofing, so he had no idea what was going on inside. He couldn't push the door open and barge in either. So, he had to wait outside.It was only around midnight that Edna finally opened the door and stepped out. She lookedsomewhat exhausted as she handed him some hair and a toothbrush."Sorry for making you wait. Here, take these," Edna said.Curtis accepted the items and glanced at Edna. Upon noticing her flushed face, and immediately guessed what had happened. He said, "Thank you, Your Highness.""You're welcome. Are you taking them back to Nessa right away?"Curtis nodded and replied, "Yeah.""Then tell Nessa that I'm doing well here. Tell her that Geralt is treating me well too, so she doesn't have to worry about anything.""Okay."“Hurry up and go.”"Alright."After Curtis disappeared down the hallway, Edna
Clearly, Allison was in no position to negotiate with the king right now.Allison glanced at Margot said, "Take care of yourself and go back to where Mr. Sawyer and the others are immediately."Margot had no idea what was happening. She stood up and asked worriedly, "What's going on?""I'm not sure either. I'll have to leave for now," Allison replied.She knew she couldn't act recklessly in the royal palace, so she had no choice but to follow instructions and leave with the bodyguards."Nessa!" Margot shouted and tried to run out after her, but two bodyguards stopped her.She had no choice and wanted to turn around to go back to where Gabriel and Luna were. However, two bodyguards kept watch over her and didn't let her go anywhere.They held her in Ryan's residence. Margot couldn't get out. So, she could only pace back and forth in the room anxiously.It took about one or two hours before Ryan eventually arrived. He walked in slowly with a gloomy expression and bloodshot eyes.
Ragnar was stunned. He didn't expect Calvin to come over at this time. What was the purpose of his sudden visit? Did he come to pick up Margot, or had he learned about something?Ragnar looked at Margot and said, "Ms. Morris, please wait here for a moment. I will go and meet with your brother first."Margot was somewhat surprised that Calvin had come over. She quickly said, "I'll come with you. It's been a long time since I last saw my brother. I miss him."Ragnar had no right to refuse, so he led her to the living room.Calvin had come alone. He didn't bring anything. Not even one of his subordinates was in view.He left the capable people around him in Emeria to keep an eye on things and make sure nothing went wrong in his absence.Curtis took his military seal to Yerhda Island.If Ragnar was willing to hand over Daniel, then they would negotiate peacefully. If he had other intentions, Calvin would send Curtis, who had the military seal and the power to command an army, to the
Calvin had a stern expression and an imposing presence. "Your Majesty, you hid the fact that Daniel was here. Furthermore, you hurriedly arranged for him to marry Princess Edna. Did Your Majesty show respect to the Morris family by doing all these?"I don't care what plans you have, Your Majesty. I just want Daniel back right now, so I must trouble you to send someone to bring him back immediately."If Daniel wasn't there by tomorrow, he would give Curtis the order to bring him back by force. He wasn't afraid of getting into conflict. At any given time, the Morris family could handle the consequences that come with starting a war.Calvin vanquished what little righteousness Ragnar had managed to muster. Ragnar felt humiliated and angry, but he didn't show it on his face.In the end, he had to speak politely and calmly with Calvin. "Mr. Morris, I don't know how you confirmed that my son-in-law is your brother. But if you wish to see him, I'll arrange it. There's no need for us to be
"That's the plan," Calvin replied.Holding Margot's hand, Calvin headed back to where Gabriel and Luna were with her.Margot asked, "How is Natalie doing?""She's doing well, so don't worry about her. On the contrary, she's been worried about you ever since she found out that the Koronia royal family detained you," Calvin said."With you and Curtis backing us, they wouldn't dare do anything to us," Margot responded. Then, she thought of something and excitedly said, "Guess who I ran into here."Calvin looked at Margot's delighted expression and said with a smile, "You've met Allison, haven't you?"Margot's face immediately fell. "Did Curtis tell you?""Of course. Curtis also said that if it weren't for Allison, he probably wouldn't have survived to see me."This time, Curtis did something significant for the Morris family. Calvin would remember what he'd done for a lifetime.And so, Calvin and Margot went back to meet with Gabriel and Luna. Gabriel was immensely surprised wh
There was absolutely no way for him to be with Lena. But… What should he do if he couldn't let go?Anthony felt a sharp pain in his chest again. The pain was so vivid that he could barely stand it. He fell to his knees with a thud."Branden, I know you possess great skills and are well-versed in the ways of the mind. Could you help guide me in the right direction?" Anthony pleaded.He was unsure about the kind of feelings Branden had toward Lena.These days, Branden's disciples had been taking great care of him on the mountain. This showed that Branden was a compassionate and generous person. Because of that, he felt that he shouldn't judge Branden unfairly and in a narrow-minded way."If you listen to me, of course I'm willing to help you. But it's obvious that you're agitated and impulsive, and there's no way you would follow my advice," Branden spoke slowly and calmly with his back to Anthony.Anthony shook his head. "I'll listen to you. I'll do whatever you suggest, but let m
Lena was shocked and looked curiously at Branden, who was calm as ever. "Master, how did you know that Margot and the others were in danger while you were up here in the mountains? Were you able to foresee this as well?"Branden looked at Lena with a serene expression. "Their astrological houses tell all. As time goes by, the exact moments when they will face challenges are all clearly written in their fate."Lena's eyes lit up, and she quickly moved forward to sit closely next to Branden. "Can you teach me how to do that? How can I learn about someone's fate?"Branden looked at Lena, who had seated herself right next to him, and lightly flicked her on the forehead.He said, "This isn't suitable for you. Your astrological house isn't strong enough to handle this fortune-telling skill. It's more suitable for someone like Solace. You should head to SerenityHall to see Anthony. Leave the mountain first thing tomorrow morning."Lena felt a bit disappointed. "So you're saying that when
Lena knew very well that she couldn't convince herself to be with Anthony. She would have to take it one step at a time."Okay, I'll do as Branden said. Lena, wait for me," Anthony said.He hoped that Lena would wait until he no longer felt so much pain and inner conflict, just as Branden suggested, then she could leave with him. When the time came, they would get together and get married. Then, they would have children and live a life of happiness together.Lena couldn't hold back any longer and turned to meet Anthony's gaze.Seeing his bloodshot eyes and haggard face, she frowned with concern and nodded in agreement. "Okay, I'll wait for you."Anthony smiled. With Lena saying that, it showed he did have a place in her heart. He needed to stop baselessly suspecting that there was something between her and Branden. What he needed to do now was to clear up the conflicts deep within his heart.Lena thought about how she would be leaving the mountain the next morning. She didn't kno
