Chapter 537: Explanation

A somewhat awkward silence descended over the spacious study for a short while until Alicia broke the stillness again.

"When you stabbed Abigail…" she started and then paused with a slight narrowing of her eyes at Zeke. "Were you certain that she would not have stayed dead? Had you some kind of guarantee or proof that Abi will rise again after you killed her? You said the only thing the prophetess saw was you killing Abi and the dragons disappearing." Alicia was relentless in her pursuit of questioning Zeke, leaving no grounds unturned.

Ezekiel glanced at Alex and Abi before he returned his gaze to Alicia. "No. I was not certain." He replied – answer short and to the point.

The air suddenly turned chilly and everyone already knew that the frosty aura blasting out was coming from Alex. Abi immediately faced her husband, but she eventually relaxed because despite the grim look and the darkness clearly evident on Alex's face, he was calm.
