| ← Ch.0733 | Ch.0735 → |
Serefina sheltered herself under a tree and she had to use her power too, so she wouldn't get wet. The witch was just being stubborn to not teleport herself straight to the south region. She wasted her time.
Above her, behind the thick smoke, which Serefina had seen all the way since she arrived at the castle, the sky was pitch black.
The sky spat out beads of water and puddles began to form under Serefina's feet as the rainfall became heavier.
The murmuring of the rain through the leaves was akin to angry bees in Serefina's ears, but she refused to help herself from this chaotic weather
Even though Serefina could save herself from the vengeful heavy rain, but she couldn't stop the coldness that the wind brought every time it wh. i. p. s her body.
Occasionally, an unearthly caterwauling sound filled the air.
The witch raised both of her hands and blew warm breath to her freezing palms. She created her own fire to keep herself warm.
And after two hours had passed and the rain still had not stopped, Serefina was too tired to stand up, in the end she crouched down, looking at the mist created by the heavy rain.
Serefina lowered her head and rested her forehead on her knees as she cried silently. She felt pathetic and helpless for crying like this. For feeling like this. 𝚏𝑟𝘦𝘦𝘄𝑒𝗯𝗻ov𝒆l - 🅽🅽novel
Serefina remembered the last time she felt very devastated like this was when her father left her. She didn't come to the forest where she usually met Jedrek for days.
But, one day, when she cried silently among the blue flowers in the meadow, near her house, Jedrek managed to find her by following her scent, at that time also, she realized that the lycan was immune to some of her magic.
Jedrek sat quietly beside her and patted her shoulder, but didn't ask anything until Serefina told him about what had happened. He listened to her.
He promised her that he would stay with her. He would never leave her...
Well, that was a lie...
Their situation now was more complicated than what they thought. Everything was not the same and both of them had been through so much. They were no longer their younger selves, who were too naive to understand that much would happen in the future, including things that they didn't want.
Jedrek thought, as the future King, he would get everything that he wanted, be with whomever he desires, yet things got complicated when Diana gave birth to Kace and her health began to decline.
It was not normal for lycan to be sick...
Serefina had known Kace since he was born. One night, Jedrek took Serefina to see his younger brother, in his nursery room and let Serefina held baby Kace.
And years after that, when Jedrek was too busy with his journey with Torak and their father to visit their other domains, Serefina would play with Kace.
It was one of the most beautiful years she had ever had.
Serefina closed her eyes and let the puddle wetted her dress. She would dry it later when her heart was no longer in a mess.
The rain was incessant, it snapped and crackled and continued to pouring down this realm, unfurled slowly all the flowers in the meadow.
The same rain also pouring down on the south city, it dark clouds hanging low on the top of the castle tower.
When someone was crying under the rain, on the other side of this realm, there was someone, standing silently while staring at the mist and relishing the petrichor that emanating from the drying grass.
The smell soothed the king's nerve, but also brought back memories.
"Wear this, " Lilac dr. a. p. ed warm cloak on Jedrek's shoulder and gave him a warm cup of tea."It is storm..." she mumbled while looking at the heavy rain outside and thunder in the dark sky.
"Hm, " Jedrek sniffed the tea before drinking it. It had become a habit.
"It is terrifying. It's my first time seeing a storm like this." Lilac tried to engage a conversation with Jedrek.
"The rainy season is coming, " Jedrek replied.
After that, they shared a comfortable silence while drinking their hot tea to warm their body. Even after an hour, it didn't seem like the rain would stop.
Both of them were standing in the corridor, where the big windows lined up.
"Tomorrow the three representatives will come, " Lilac reminded him."Are you feeling better now?" she asked, concern laced in her voice.
"I am fine, " Jedrek put down the tea cup at the table beside him."Come, I will take you to your room." he stretched out his hand for Lilac to take.
Lilac smiled and put down the empty cup beside his and took his hand.
The corridor almost empty, there were only a few servants and guards that were still there and all of them would lower their head when Jedrek and Lilac walked past them.
"The mating ceremony will be held in two weeks from now, " Jedrek informed Lilac.
The guardian angel didn't really anticipate this event, but Jedrek seemed determined to do so as soon as possible. Perhaps, one of her reluctance was because she knew the true reason behind it."Don't you have to deal with the problem regarding Maximus and your people first?" Lilac asked."I don't think this is the right time. After all, this is not very important."
Jedrek stopped walking in front of Lilac's room and opened the door for her."This is the right time and this is important." He held the door for her."Now, take a rest."
Lilac entered her room, but she stood in the doorway. Raising her head, Lilac stared into Jedrek's blue eyes as she spoke."Serefina is only two days away from here."
After hearing that, Jedrek didn't answer her immediately, but then he leaned over and kissed her temple."Goodnight, " he said, as if Lilac never mentioned anything.
