Chapter 179 Regaleon’s Worries (1/2)
(Regaleon's POV)
I put my head back on the chair and slouched. This war really is tiring and draining me. If I want to make clear decisions, I need to rest well to have a clear mind. This is essential for winning the war and rescuing my beloved.
”Just wait Lili, I will come for you.” This promise I will definitely make.
”Your majesty, there is word from our spy in Jennova.” Dimitri rushed in the room.
I quickly sat up when I heard that the news was from the spy. This only meant there is news regarding Alicia.
”Quickly, read it.” I ordered immediately.
”Yes your majesty.” Dimitri nodded. He lifted the note he was holding. ”It says that the princess has just woken up from her six month of sleep. She seems to be in good health and doing well. The princess is still being guarded carefully by the Jennovian queen's men and it is still hard to get close. But he will try to make contact.”
It was like a huge and heavy rock lifted from my heart. Relief has spread in my entire body.
”Let me see the note.” I ordered Dimitri and he handed it to me. I read the note once more and now I felt joy in my heart. ”She is well. She is doing well. Thank God.”
”That is good to hear your majesty. I am sure that the princess will be safe.” Dimitri gave me comforting words.
”I know. She is a smart and strong girl.” A smiled crept from my lips.
”Is it true? Alicia is awake already?” A voice came from the open door of my office.
With Dmitri's rush to give me the note from the spy, he might have forgot to close the door. When I looked at the open door, I see a familiar face of a young man with blonde hair and blue eyes. He was holding a white cat in his arms.
”Good evening Sir William. Please come inside.” I greeted him.
William was badly injured in the parade ambush. It took him at least two to three months to fully recover. And after recovering from his injuries he begged to join me in my quest to save Alicia.
”Good evening your majesty. I am sorry to eavesdrop on your conversation with Sir Dimitri but after hearing Alicia's name.” William said while entering my office and closing the door.
”I understand Sir William. Like what you have heard; Alicia has just woken up from her six months sleep as the note says.” I said.
”Then that's a relief.” William sighed. ”Do you have any plans on how to rescue her? I am willing to offer my help.” A glint of hope was sparkling in his eyes.
I know that like me, William was still very much in love with Alicia. I may not like the feelings he possess towards my fiancée but I am relieved to know that his feelings for her are pure and with no ill intentions.
”The news is still new Sir William and our spy hasn't had the privilege to make contact with the princess yet.” Dimitri explained. ”We can devise a plan for a rescue operation after our spy gives us some more valuable information. So for now all we can do is to wait.”
William has same anxious face like mine. Then I realized that he was carrying Alicia's familiar in his arms.
”By the way, what brings you here in the middle of the night Sir William?” I asked.
