Lahat ng Kabanata ng Luna's Revenge: Willow Baker's Marriage Request: Kabanata 211 - Kabanata 220

Willow Baker POV'That bastard. So this was what he was up to.'Instead of saying anything, I groaned. The force that knocked me down wasn't that strong, but I had been caught completely off guard. I should have been more careful.As I sat up, I saw that the guards were rushing to my side. One asked, "Are you alright?""I'm good, I think," I said as I allowed a guard to help me to my feet. "What happened?""That would be the barrier," a guard said.I gave the man a look at the obvious answer. It was like he thought I was blind. Of course it was the barrier, but I couldn't understand why I couldn't leave when I entered just fine. They must have done something while I was asleep.Lonnie came running over and asked, "What happened? Is everything alright?" Then he spotted me and asked, "My lady, are you okay?"Out of the corner of my eye, I could see the confusion on the guards' faces. He really didn't tell them anything about me. Well, that wasn't what was important right now."I would b

Willow Baker POV'This is crazy. Are they saying that Asa is some kind of messiah?'The image was just unbelievable. She was just a baby. Well, she had turned one year old, but the point remained the same. I couldn't imagine what she could do to be considered such an important person to the Moon Goddess.'Could it be the Moon Goddess is talking about her heritage?''What do you mean?''Asa currently has the blood of all three races. Isn't it natural that the Moon Goddess would have her eye on her?''This isn't the first time it's happened before. It's just rare.''Exactly. It's rare, so it's worth taking notice.''Even if you say that, they make it sound like it's a big deal, and I have never heard the Moon Goddess taking notice in previous cases.''How would you know? Are you privy to such information?''No, but I would think people would want to brag about it.''Do you want anyone to know Asa is the chosen one?''No.''I rest my case.'My attention was torn away from her when the ma

Willow Baker POVI wasn't sure how to feel about all this. On the one hand, I was glad to hear he was here, even if I was annoyed that he was late. After all, it had almost been a day since I had been teleported away. I can't even imagine what took him so long.On the other hand, why was he threatening war? Haven't we been trying to avoid that?There was no way Higsnesia would take this lying down, especially when they technically did nothing wrong. I mean, while I did end up in the country like they wanted, they hadn't used force to make me come here.It was all a coincidence, no matter how absurd he sounded. Of course, I supposed Maverick wouldn't know this since I couldn't tell him what happened. Our bond was still blocked for some reason.In fact, it reminded me of a similar case. No, not just similar. It was exactly the same situation with the others. Maverick had said way in the beginning that what happened to the bond was unusual and the reason why he suspected they were alive.

Willow Baker POVThis wasn't what I wanted. In fact, it was the exact opposite of what I wanted. I couldn't understand why Maverick refused to take my word for it and pick a fight with the Grand Duke of Higsnesia.'Maybe he thinks you're being mind controlled.''That's ridiculous. I'm not. They don't have that kind of magic.'However, as I thought about it, I wondered if maybe they did have that kind of magic. Maverick would know better than me, and if he thought it was a possibility, then I couldn't ignore it.Of course, I reasoned that it couldn't have happened because they hadn't done anything to show they had used magic against me. Also, Winter would have caught them in the act.'Not necessarily. We don't know everything about how magic works. It might have slipped past me.''Please don't say such scary things.''I'm just telling the truth.'I didn't need another thing on my plate right now, especially as Maverick had already started counting down. This was bad, but I had no clue

Willow Baker POVSeveral Hours LaterAs I stared at the people around me, I had to admit that I was a little in over my head. When Winter and I had planned to hunt for clues regarding the others, I never expected things to turn out like this.After I had been given some privacy, Winter and I had discussed what to do. Obviously, the short time frame had limited our options, so we had to as efficient as possible.Exploring all of Higsnesia was impossible even if we did have time, so we had to narrow down the places we could investigate. That had been difficult given our limited knowledge of the place.Luckily, I had been able to grab a servant to help me, though it wasn't much. However, it had been better than nothing, as there hadn't been anyone else we could ask for help.He had told us quite a bit about the capital and given advice about places to go and places to avoid. After thanking him for his advice, we had sent him on his way to determine where was our best bet was.Since we ha
