Chapter 280 - Next Steps to Take (1) (2/2)
I was deep in thought with these two choices. Sharing the burden of becoming the chosen one with Regaleon made my heart feel lighter. I am sure that with us both sharing the same burden, we can prevent the destruction that is in the prophecy and in turn, bring this continent to prosperity.
But thinking of the second choice was bothering me the most.
”Our child…” I thought and stared at my stomach. I cannot imagine my child having to carry such a heavy burden on his shoulder. ”I-I do not want our child to carry such a burden Leon.”
I looked at Regaleon with worry etch on my face. Regaleon cupped my face in his palms and gently caressed them.
”I understand your worries my love.” Regaleon said gently. ”It is still not yet certain if our child will be the chosen one. But if ever he or she is, then we will be here to guide him in the right path.”
Regaleon pulled me close to him and kissed my forehead to further comfort me. He is correct, who ever the chosen one is, Regaleon and I will be the ones to shape the fate of this continent. With my husband by my side, I am sure we can do anything.
”Are you feeling much better now?” Regaleon pulled away and looked at me. I nodded, letting him know that I have already calmed down.
”Would you like to rest further?” Regaleon asked. ”It is quite late in the night.”
I shook my head. ”I think I have slept so much during the day that I think I cannot go to sleep that easily again.” I replied.
”Then would you mind cuddling while talking?” Regaleon asked.
My face went red thinking of our wedding night. I heard Regaleon chuckling at my expression.
”Haha, do not worry. I won't do anything tonight, even though I want to.” Regaleon said with a mischievous look. ”You just woke up from that ordeal earlier. I wouldn't want your body to get tired.”
Regaleon tucked me into bed once again and laid down beside me. He wrapped his arms around me, letting me snuggle into his broad chest. I can feel his heart beating steadily, its sound gave me comfort and relief.
”Earlier, the other and I have talked about our next step.” Regaleon said after some time. ”Searching for the key fragments will be our next best option.”
”Hmm.” I gave a curt response. ”Have you taken note of the location before the map disappeared?” I asked.
Regaleon nodded. ”Yes. We have planned our movements according to the fragments position.”
Remembering the projected map, the positions of the fragments are far from one another. There are four fragments in total and their positions are far apart, not to mention that the continent is vast and wide. Having to go from one point to another might take us a lot of time.
”The locations are far apart from one another.” Regaleon said. ”And so, we have decided to break into two groups.”
