Bab 514: Overthinking (Ch.515)

"Where is she?" Jian demanded as he stormed right into Kaideon's office, 

His expression was dark with rage, a rare change on his usually blank and expressionless face.

Jian had discovered that just as Xenon had said, Neveah was not in her quarters where he had left her.

More than that, she was nowhere around the Dune Castle too. Her scent was long faded, it was clear she had left the castle the very moment Jian had turned his back on her.

Like she had just been waiting for him to be out of sight so she could run for the hills.

A thousand thoughts had crossed Jian's mind in that moment. 

Had he done something wrong already? Said something wrong? 

Jian admitted he was pretty talented in that regard... saying the wrong things to Neveah.

But this time, Jian was certain he had not said anything awful.

Or was it so distasteful to Neveah that she was bonded to him that she would rather leave?

For how long?
