Chapter 89Aeron's heart felt heavy as he walked into Pelenore's cabin, his steps slow and hesitant. He looked worn, his face pale and stained with tears. Pelenore, sitting at his desk, glanced up at Aeron but said nothing. He didn't even acknowledge Aeron's obvious distress.Aeron couldn't take the silence any longer. "You knew, didn't you?" he asked softly, his voice carrying the weight of betrayal. "You knew they had Myra, that's why you asked me to let her go, isn't it?"Pelenore remained unresponsive, his gaze fixed on the documents spread out before him.Unable to bear the tension any longer, Aeron sank to the floor, his back against the wall. Emotion overwhelmed him, and he vented his frustrations. "Why did they have to bring Myra into this? She has nothing to do with it! She's innocent!"Pelenore finally broke his silence, his voice calm and unmatched by the turmoil in Aeron's heart. "It is because they know she's your weakness," he said matter-of-factly.Looking up at Pelenor
Chapter 90Myra, her face flushed with anger, stormed back to the palace. The once beautiful nature and joyful laughter around her now seemed to hold no pleasure. She muttered to herself in disbelief about Aeron's accusation. How could he say something like that? Oswald being wicked, Augustine being a scientist, and Augustine wanting to kill Alistar? It was all too much for Myra to comprehend.In frustration, she kicked a stone, only to hurt her toe. Exclaiming, "Fuck!" she inadvertently made Alistar cry. Myra, now torn between irritation and guilt, petted Alistar as she took deep breaths to calm her nerves. If she had known this was the nonsense Aeron wanted to tell her, she would never have agreed to meet him.She finally arrived at the palace and as she entered, she noticed three figures engaged in a secretive conversation. Baron and Oswald were there, but Myra couldn't get a clear view of the third person as they were cloaked. Curiosity got the better of her, and she quietly tipto
Chapter 91The moon cast its silver glow over the palace as Myra, cloaked and silent, sneaked out in the dead of night, unaware that Baron had keen eyes on her every move. Her steps were calculated, avoiding the creaky floorboards, and she disappeared into the shadows.Finally free from the confines of the palace, Myra made her way towards the cave of waters. Breathing heavily, Myra approached the cave and saw the figures standing there, patiently waiting for her. Aeron, unable to control his excitement, rushed forward. His voice was filled with concern as he asked, "Myra, are you alright? I was so worried." But before he could finish his sentence, Myra cut him off with a deep, passionate kiss, drawing him into the intensity of the moment.Aeron's surprise quickly gave way to reciprocation as he pulled her closer, surrendering to the fire that ignited between them. Their hearts beat in rhythm, lost in the moment, until Pelenore's throat clearing abruptly interrupted their kiss. Break
Chapter 92Baron sat on his bed, a weariness etched across his face. A flicker of sadness clouded his eyes as he gazed at the portrait of Myra, his heart heavy with memories. He had hoped that after all this time, the feelings he once had for her would have dissipated, but being so close to her the previous night had only served to reignite his emotions.As he held the portrait in his hands, his fingers gently caressing its edges, Baron's mind traveled back to the time when they had been close. It was the first night Myra had spent in the palace, and Baron happened to be passing by her chamber when he heard her scream. Without a second thought, he flung the door open and rushed in, finding her trembling and weeping on the bed. Her words, "He wants to kill me," echoed through the room.Driven by instinct, Baron pulled her into a comforting embrace, holding her close as he whispered soothing words in her ear. He sat by her side, gently rocking her until the tears subsided and she calmed
Chapter 93Aeron and Pelenore dismounted from their horses, finding a concealed spot in a bushy area. The air hung heavy with tension as they sat in silence for a moment, contemplating the perilous path that lay ahead.Aeron broke the quietude, his gaze fixed on Pelenore, "Do I really have to do this? Once we cross this border, there's no telling what Voldemort will do to us."Pelenore, looking at Aeron with a scoff, corrected him, "Say you. There's no telling what he'd do to you. You're the one he has a grudge against, not me."Aeron sighed, feeling the weight of the impending confrontation. He looked at Pelenore and remarked, "You're enjoying this, aren't you?" A playful smile crept up on Pelenore's aged face, and he admitted, "A little bit."Shaking his head, Aeron let out another sigh, resigning himself to the inevitable. "Let's go then."Pelenore, as if to remind Aeron of the stakes, cautioned him, "Remember, no matter what happens, do not fight back."As they crossed the border,
Chapter 94Oswald sat by the window in his chamber, his eyes fixed on the courtyard below. From his vantage point, he could see Myra and Baron strolling together, laughing and chatting. The sight filled him with a mix of longing and resentment. Myra had been his closest confidant, his dearest friend, and his unrequited love. But ever since his unforgivable actions had tainted their relationship, she had distanced herself from him. They still talked occasionally, but it lacked the warmth and intimacy he craved.Baron, on the other hand, seemed to have effortlessly slid into the role that Oswald had always longed for. That familiarity and closeness they shared burned Oswald with an intense jealousy. He couldn't fathom how Baron, knowing full well of Oswald's feelings for Myra, would dare to pursue her. It made no sense to him. It felt like a betrayal.Lost in his thoughts, Oswald was startled by a sudden knock on the door. He turned to see a maiden standing in the entrance, bowing respe
Chapter 95Myra sat in her chambers, the room seemingly closing in on her as she tried to process the shocking information she had just learned. She couldn't believe that Oswald, the man she had once loved and trusted, could have the heart to kill. Her mind raced with thoughts about the safety of her one-year-old daughter, Allistar. She glanced at the sleeping child, her heart pounding with fear. Wouldn't Oswald want to hurt the child simply because she was Aeron's?As she sat in silence, her thoughts interrupted by the sound of her name being called. Myra looked around but saw no one. Confusion filled her eyes as she tried to identify the source of the voice. Suddenly, her attention was drawn to the mirror on the wall. A soft glow emanated from it, drawing her closer.Approaching the mirror cautiously, Myra's eyes widened as she saw the reflection of Pelenore, a great wizard, appearing in the glass. She instinctively bowed slightly, showing respect as she greeted him, "Great Wizard."
Chapter 96Myra emerged from Baron's chamber with a shy smile on her face. She felt the butterflies in her stomach fluttering as she turned to him, her gratitude bubbling over. "Thank you, Baron, for always answering my call no matter when it comes." she says softly, her voice filled with gratitude. "I don't know what I would do without youBaron smiled warmly at her. "Myra, it's always my pleasure to help you. You know I will always be there for you, no matter what."As Myra and Baron exchanged these words, Oswald stood in the shadows, watching them. His eyes narrowed with a mix of jealously, anger, and pain. Myra was aware of his presence, but she pretended not to notice. With a sly glint in her eyes, she leaned in and hugged Baron tightly, knowing that her actions would only stoke the flames of Oswald's jealousy.As she released Baron and left, Myra took slow, purposeful steps through the corridors of the palace. She knew that Oswald would follow her, and sure enough, she heard his
