章節 282: What are you?

"The crown princess's safety is your priority!" 

"Yes, Your Royal Highness!"

Joaquin rushed to his steed to search for his wife, completely forgetting about Abel and everything else. All he could think of was to make sure his wife would be left unharmed. So, as soon as he jumped to his steed, he sped away. Quite commendable of him to be concerned about his wife.

The knights also prepared for the search, scattering around the clearing while some already left to follow the crown prince or to search the other areas. Others cleaned up the bodies Joaquin hunted down. 

While everyone was busy with their own assignments, Abel stayed frozen in the same spot. He was looking around, watching everyone take all directions except the east. 

"She's there... in the east," he whispered, lowering his gaze as he felt invisible root vines grow underneath his feet and stilling him on the ground.
