Chapter 278 - Both Being Chosen? (1) (2/2)
”I am sure you still have some business you need to discuss with George.” Mother in law said. ”Do not worry, I will stay here with my daughter to look after her in your stead.” She gave me a reassuring smile.
”Thank you, mother in law.” I replied with a smile.
I stood up from my wife's beside and kissed the back of her hand. ”I will leave for a while my live. I will come back later.”
I gave mother in law a nod and she replied with a node as well. I walked out and saw William guarding our door from the outside. I did not even feel his presence because I was fixed on Alicia. Still, I am thankful that we have such trustworthy friends with us.
”Watch over her for me.” I patted William's shoulder.
”Of course, your majesty.” William replied curtly.
I continued walking downstairs towards the living room area and saw George looking at an old book deeply reading.
”George.” I called out to him.
”Your majesty…” George was caught of guard when he heard me and was about to stand up and bow.
”No need to do that.” I gestured with my hand for him to stay seated. I also took my seat across to him. ”Tell me, what happened?” I asked, looking at him seriously.
I do not want what happened just now to be repeated. I do not want to see Alicia in pain once again like before. My heart squeezed in pain just by remembering what have happened.
”Do you remember what I said before activating the pendant your majesty?” George asked.
[”I have a hypothesis.” George pinched his chin in thought, ”Because the pendants have the Almighty's magic essence embedded inside, I think it is reacting with the chosen once power. As you know of the prophecy, the chosen one is like a reincarnation of the Almighty One himself.”
”The chosen one is surely in this room with us right now.” George muttered]
”You have said that the pendants were acting weird because the chosen one was inside the room.” I remembered. ”Then what happened to us was because of this?”
George nodded in confirmation. ”The reaction with the lingering essence of the Almighty One's power might be the case why both of you had that kind of reaction. These pendants have now served its purpose. Now, they are just ordinary jewels. The Almighty Ones power that was embedded inside these pendants have vanished.” He put the pendants on top of the table in between us.
”What?!” I was surprised and looked at the pendants on the table. ”What does this mean?”
Truthfully, I cannot feel the power that I have felt these pendants possess. Just this morning I felt the tremendous amount of magic inside these two pendants being placed beside each other, but now they do not emit such auras. They looked just like ordinary pendants now.
”This also baffles me your majesty.” George said in deep thought. ”The Almighty One's magic embedded in theses pendants are gone. And both you and the Queen Alicia had the same reaction after I activated the map.”
”Earlier, when my head was also in pain, there was also ringing in my ear.” I said. ”When the ringing faded away, I heard a voice.”
I looked at George, wanting to know what he would think of the words that voice gave me, and from who that voice came from.
