Chapter 535 - Truth mixed with lies (1/2)
Meanwhile at the edge of town.
Orthez examined the ruins carefully and sighed. This is going to be a tricky situation. She thought so before but now it is clear to her. It seems she will have to put that plan into motion soon. There is no longer anytime to spare. Andrew should be able to handle things here until Lyn is ready. Even if Lethia gets in the way, Andrew will not let her do much damage. At the very least there will be a joined leadership.
But it's no good having the children fight like this. Is there any way to fix their relationship?
A deep sigh crossed her lips as she stepped back from the ruins. She turned to the left side of the tunnel and walked down the passageway. There seemed to be more markings on the wall since the last time. Eventually, she arrived at a large open area with a huge lake, in the center was a huge statue of two dragons.
Noticing the crack in the center though Orthez frowned. It seems like it was a good thing she came here.
”You came?” Orthez isn't surprised to see her husband.
Daichi chuckled. ”It's no fun now that your senses are sharper.”
Orthez sighed. ”I've known you for long enough.”
”Then can you tell me what I am thinking?” In the next second, she brought her blade out and her sword clashed with her husband.
”Orthez.” Daichi said gently. ”I need you to escape with me.”
”I can't.”
”It is my duty to keep you safe.”
A frustrated look appeared on her face when she heard those words.
”Enough.” A familiar voice said. Orthez glanced over and spotted a man with long blue hair.
”Are you two going to squabble during this time?”
Daichi lowered his blade and chuckled. ”Well, I wasn't serious. If I wanted to take Orthez away I would have done it a long time ago. Besides I think she keeps forgetting that I am stronger than her.”
Orthez frowned at his words and was about to say something when he pinched her cheeks. ”That was a little test for you. You seem undecisive lately. But don't forget what you went through.”
So that's why he did that?
”I haven't forgotten.”
Daichi smiled gently. ”That's good.”
Prince Ralph was anything but happy as he coughed again. ”You two.” He looked very troubled. ”Don't do such troublesome things. I wonder how my father dealt with this.”
”He used to let us go.” Daichi and she said at the same time.
”Is that so? I remember him yelling a lot.”
”Is there a reason why you came here?” Orthez thought he was occupied with other work.
”I am here to report about your daughter.”
”Which one?”
”Princess Lethia seems to be getting out of hand. As her mother, I think it's high time you gave her a little warning.”
