Chapter 687 - I WANT TO GO THERE

"What happened to you?" Jedrek came into Killian's room. He had wanted to visit this mind reader ever since Tordoff picked him up from the other realm.

His last encounter with Kace seemed had exhausted his energy until he found it very difficult to move. Killian was barely alive when Kace left him alone, though Jedrek's younger brother didn't finish him off, but it was still hard for him to recover from the blow, since he was not a shape shifter, which had a remarkable healing ability.

"Kace found out that it was me who followed him, somehow he knew that I am a mind reader. So, he had avoided to think about his mate and didn't come near her even once," Killian answered his King. He was sitting on the edge of his bed. The bandages had removed and left ugly scars around his chest.

"He found out you are a mind reader?" Jedrek raised his brows questioningly.

"Somehow he knows," Killian replied.

Jedrek leaned his body against the table. He was in deep thought. Regarding this matter, apparently he had someone he was suspicious of. It wasn't hard to point out who was the suspect.

"Stay here. Eaton's room will be next to yours." Jedrek had another problem to be handled, thus he needed to gather all of his generals.

"Why his room had to be next to mine? Do you know who told him about me?" Killian protested under his breath. If his power had recovered, he would like to read what was inside his King's mind. It seemed a little bit messy in there.. "Your grace?"

"I have my own suspect," Jedrek said, but he didn't elaborate further about this and walked out of the room after saying, "because all the other rooms have been occupied."

And the door was closed.

"That was a terrible lie," Killian grumbled as he lay on the bed. "There are around four hundreds room in this castle, how come all the rooms have been occupied?"

==============

Jedrek stopped in the hallway as the night sky captivated his interest, the pale crescent moon shone like a silvery claw in the night sky, blanketed with stars that stretched to infinity.

And for the first time in his life, he liked the serene of the night with the moonlight basking on the small garden in front of him.

However, it didn't last for long time when there was another thing that attracted his attention, the sweet scent of lilac..

historical

Jedrek knew she was coming to this way even before he could see her figure, but he frowned when he smelled another scent that came with her. His beast growled in displeasure.

Especially when he heard she was laughing upon something that the other man was saying.

Jedrek stood there until Lilac and Tordoff approached him and their laugh died down. Lilac even frowned and looked elsewhere.

"Your Majesty," Tordoff greeted Jedrek and lowered his head.

"Tordoff," Jedrek mentioned his name with hostility. "I am sure all the generals have gathered inside the meeting room."

"I am on my way there, your grace," Tordoff said before he nodded to Lilac and walked ahead.

Lilac nodded at him politely as well and turned around, was about to walk back down the path she had walked earlier.

"I thought you will go this way." Those words left Jedrek's lips even before he considered to say it.

Lilac stopped and stared at him. "I was, but because that is the path that you will walk, I will not go there."

Lilac's voice rang in this empty hallway, but all Jedrek could hear was her strong rejection.

"Walk with me," he said curtly, didn't leave any room for negotiation.

==============

"Can we go to the village?" Hope asked all of sudden when they were sitting on the velvety grass, under the crescent moon. Tomorrow they would start to go to the cave where those poor souls and the priestess rested.

"Which village?" Kace asked, but his eyes fixed on the strands of Bree's hair between his fingers, the little girl was sleeping on his laps when she was tired of playing with her little cat.

"The village where the priestess lived before," Hope said in low voice. She knew it sounded weird, but somehow she had an urgency to visit that place. She didn't know why she had this feeling.

Kace raised his head and furrowed his brows. "Why?"

This was one question that Hope couldn't answer either. "I don't know.." Hope lowered her head. "I only want to visit that village."

Hope watched the flickered of the fireflies around her feet and was confused; why no one could see it? Apparently Kace also couldn't see this little things, just like how no one could see the spirit of the priestess.

Maybe what Ethan said was right after all; those flickering things were indeed the spirit. The dead spirit.

"I don't think we will go there Hope.." Kace stretched out his arm and pushed her head gently, so she could rest on his shoulder.

Hope poked Bree's soft cheeks, as she was in deep thought.

She wanted to go to the village.

"I want to go there," she said softly.

==============

"Do you say something?" Raine tilted her head toward Torak, staring at him with her big eyes while munching on her dinner, a roasted sausage.

"Hm?" Torak looked at Raine and shook his head. "No, I didn't say anything."

"Really?" Raine frowned.

"What happened?" Torak leaned over, concerned about what Raine heard.

Yet, Raine shook her head. She took another bite and contemplated. "Maybe I heard what you were thinking through the mind link?" she said with uncertainty.

"What did you hear?" Torak asked.

"I don't know.. it was like a whisper.." Raine frowned.

"And what this whisper said?" Torak pressed this issue. They were in foreign land something strange could happen and he didn't want Raine was implicated by something bad.

"I want to go there," Raine repeated what she heard.
