Bab 455: Council Meeting

Outside the cottage, Evanthe approached Ember. "You shall return to the palace, Ember."

"What's wrong with him? Is it really because I harmed him?" Ember asked, her voice trembling with concern.

Evanthe shook her head. "No. He has his reasons. Do not worry."

"What reasons?" Ember pressed.

"He has just lost his mind after that incident. That's the reason," Evanthe answered, then turned to Erlos. "Take her back to the palace."

"Ember, please," Erlos requested gently.

With no other choice, Ember left with Erlos.

Aureus and Cornelia stepped out of the cottage as well.

Evanthe turned to Aureus. "You should stay by his side. Just keep in mind, do not accept any of his unreasonable requests."

"I won't," Aureus assured her and returned inside.

Evanthe looked at Cornelia. "You should go and rest as well. He will be fine with Aureus around."
