Chapter 231 - The Agitated Heart (2) (1/2)

(Jane's PoV)

I tried to ask my father about our destination, but my father seemed to be engrossed in fiddling with his black creese. I watched as the black creese let out different colors in every five seconds. It would also let out soft hum and vibrate slightly. It really didn't suit its mysterious and terrifying identity that it made me shiver.

Surprisingly, the Queen and her maids brought us to a house in the forest -which forest it was, I had no idea. It looked like a secluded village, deep in forest. However, it was not a Hidden Village. It was merely a secluded village, far from the bustling city. There were houses other than this house, but there was some space between each other. They all had fence surrounding their house with the average height of the fence around one point five meters. It made them look unapproachable.

What business did the Queen have here? She even personally came to visit, whoever inside this house must be someone important. However, I couldn't detect anyone inside the house. Weird!

Five steps before we reached the front door, the Queen stopped, followed by her maids. It made me and my father halted our steps as well with a confused look in my face. The Queen waved her hand and her maids nodded. The four of them disappeared, but seconds later I had the hunch about where they had gone.

One of them was floating on top of the house, one was standing on the left side, one on the right side, and if my guess was right, the last one was probably behind the house.

Anyone who knew would recognize that this was a simple array made for protection. I watched as the Queen waved her hands again, pouring her power into the array and a soft glow of green emitted from the house before I could finally notice some movements inside the house.

This was strange. I was sure I couldn't notice anything or anyone inside, but now I could sense it.

However, there was something off from the breath inside the house.

As the green glow disappeared, the bad feeling I got from the house got more intense. My body went into alert at once as my eyes scanned my surroundings.

The dark and evil aura thickened in a matter of seconds. It was like they were attracted by something inside the house. Something that could attract this much of evil aura must be something wicked.

How did the Queen related to the evil thing inside?

”Lord Satya, please...” The agitation in the Queen's face got even more obvious.

I watched as my father nodded and walked towards the door. In a haste, I jumped between him and the door, preventing him to move further.

”Dad, are you sure?” My eyes shot him a warning gaze, trying to stop him from going into the house.

”It's okay, Jane.” My father patted my shoulder with assuring gaze. ”He needs me.”

I frowned. Since my father said so, even if I felt reluctant, I could only move aside and let him enter the house.

”My Queen, would you mind to tell me who is inside this house? And why do you need my father to go inside?” I could only turn to the only one who knew the problem.

The Queen of South Sea sighed even though worry was still painting her beautiful face.

”My son is inside.” She said in a low tone.

Wait! Son?! I was sure my face showed the surprise I felt inside as I couldn't manage to control my expression.
