Chapter 325 - Unknown Voice (1) (2/2)

”I am not really sure.” I said truthfully. ”I was just resting in our room when a breeze came inside from the veranda doors. Then I think I heard a faint voice, like a whisper. I was startled because it was as if the owner of the voice was just beside me, whispering in my ear.”

”A voice?” Regaleon asked then looked at William.

”I have searched every corner of your room your majesty, there was no one inside.” William replied. ”I also asked our men that were guarding the veranda on the ground floor. They were one hundered percent sure that they did not see anyone at that time.”

Regaleon's eyes fell unto me once again. I am sure he knows that this was something that cannot be explained easily.

”What did the voice say?” Regaleon asked in a calm manner.

”It said to me 'I found you at last.'” I replied. ”But I did not feel any ill intent in the voice, I was just startled. On the contrary, the voice felt warm and peaceful.”

I do not know how to explain it any further, but it is true that I did not feel any evil feelings from the voice. I was just caught off guard, feeling someone whispering into my ear when I was all alone.

”I understand.” Regaleon sighed. ”I will ask the duke to change our room just to be safe.” I nodded in agreement.

”Your majesty, your dinner is ready.” Tricia politely interrupted.

After hearing that dinner is ready, my stomach grumbled noisly that it was heard by everyone in the room. I felt embarrassed while the people around tried not to laugh.

”Then please prepare our dinner here Tricia.” Regaleon said with a warm smile on his face. ”It looks like my wife and child cannot ignore their hunger even after that fright.” He chuckled lightly.

”Of course, your majesty.” Tricia said with a smile and left.

”Then I will take my leave then.” Anatalia replied cheerfully. ”Remember to eat even though you know you are going to throw it out. The important thing is there is still some food that will be left in your stomach.” She reminded me and then left.

”I will also take my leave your majesty.” Chris who I did not notice was in the back said.

”Please make the necessary preparations.” Regaleon said to him. Chrise bowed and left the room.

”I am sorry, did I bother your talk?” I said with guilt. ”It looks like you were talking about something important.”

”You are more important.” Regaleon said while taking my hand and squeezing it lightly. ”It was just a report coming from Dimitri.” Regaleon took a sit beside me.

”Did it contain any news of the key fragments?” I asked.

”Yes. Dimitri's group has acquired all two of the key fragments.” Regaleon said. ”They are now on their way here.”

”That is good to hear.” I beamed with joy. ”That was fast. So, the only one left is the key fragment near here.”

”Uhuh. Dimitri always impresses me. I am fortunate to have him as my right hand.” Regaleon nodded. ”Chris has selected a group of men and will continue to the site where the key fragment should be found. They will be departing tomorrow at dawn.”

I remembered that Chris was left to lead the group in the search of the key fragment near here. Regaleon has promised to stay by my side all the time when he knew I was pregnant.

”After a week or two, Dimitri's group will arrive here. They can then plan on the voyage towards the sea where the forbidden magic lies dormant underneath.” Regaleon said.

”Then, will we be still here?” I asked.

Regaleon said that both of us will be going back to the capital of Alvannia after I have been stable with my pregnancy. I was not sure how long that will take.

”Unfortunately, we will not be here when they dig up the forbidden magic.” Regaleon replied. ”Anatalia said that you have been stable since we got here and has been well rested. We can hear towards the capital a day after tomorrow on board Tempest. And to be honest, I do not want you or our child near that damn thing.” He caressed my stomach lightly.

”I understand.” I replied to Regaleon with a smile. I was a little regretful that I cannot see the forbidden magic, but for the safety of our unborn child I would not take the risk.

Not long, Tricia came in the parlour room with our dinner. Regaleon and I then ate peacefully. But in the back of my mind, I was still curious where that voice came from and who was calling out to me.
