Chapter 258 - A Tearful Reunion (1) (2/2)
I looked at the direction of the Jennovian palace, waiting and longing for her arrival every minute. That was when I saw a flash of light that blinded me and the others.
”What was that?” I heard my men said in alarm.
I opened my eyes to look at the surroundings. The light was starting to wane and it came from the direction of the palace. My heart started to thump rapidly. I knew something went wrong.
*whistle*
After whistling, my horse Midnight came galloping and stopped before me. Without saying anything I climbed my horse and held the reigns. Dimitri did the same and called for his horse and climbed it, ready to depart with my order.
”Half of the men come with me while half stand guard here.” I ordered.
The men heard my orders. Half of them scrambled to depart with me while half stood their ground to guard.
”I don't have time to explain, just follow me to the palace now.” I said while pulling the reigns towards the palace's direction.
”I am coming with you your majesty.” William was about to get his horse.
”No Sir William.” I told him. ”You need to stay here. Alicia entrusted her mother to you. You need to protect her.” I said.
William has a face with contradiction. He knows something wrong happened back at the Jennovian palace and wants to go to Alicia but he has an important role given to him as well.
”Yes your majesty.” William sighed and gave in. ”I will ensure Lady Leticia's safety.” I nodded after hearing his decision.
”Be prepared to depart if we don't get back after two hours.” I ordered him and my men. ”Keep mother in law safe, I will entrust her to you.”
”Of course your majesty.” William's eyes were now filled with resolve.
The role that Alicia and I entrusted to him was great. He knew what he must do.
”Please, promise me that you and Alicia will come back here safely your majesty.” William pleaded.
”Hmm.” I nodded. ”I promise.”
I pulled Midnight's reigns and started to rush towards the Jennovian palace.
'Alicia, wait for me. I am coming for you.' I said inside my heart.
