Chapitre 87: Certain Security

Departing before sunset, Tarah felt a sense of deja vu as she once again found herself enveloped in the deafening silence inside the carriage with Ezekiel.

She stole glances at Ezekiel, who appeared lost in deep thought. Tarah could empathize with him. The day had been tense with events, and Devon's disruptive behavior as he materialized himself on one of his spies threatened to overshadow the festivities at Cordon, notably the procession of his sister as the new queen of Cordon.

Suddenly, Ezekiel turned to her, catching Tarah off guard. She offered an awkward smile, realizing it was too late to avert her gaze.

"You seem lost in thought," she remarked, breaking the awkward silence.

"My sister Mineah is cursed, and now her life… her bloodline is intertwined with Lady Jayra's. I just wish I could do more for her," Ezekiel confided.

"You know, there's no such thing as coincidence; everything happens for a reason. Let me show you," Tarah replied.
