章 127: The two in the room

Ave stepped out of the stable after a while when Lucian had left and after she'd tried to speak to Heaven again but got no response from the arrogant creature. It was almost like it wasn't the horse who had spoken to her earlier. Or had she imagined those words? She was certain she'd heard the words in her head when the horse moved its mouth.

Ave thought as she made her way back towards the doomed palace's entrance after briefly noticing that Lucian's horse and Zane's were nowhere in sight. They'd probably gone back to the main palace.

She was about to indulge in her thoughts when she caught sight of Hugo pacing worriedly outside near the entrance. She quickly schooled her downcast expression and called his name, causing the man to hurriedly jerk his head in her direction with a shocked look on his face at first before a smile broke on his tan face.
