MainNovelThe Abandoned Lycan Queen 86 Chapter 86 Elena's POV After pinching my hand, I looked up at him solemnly and opened my lips only for a sigh to escape my lips instead of an answer.
"It's okay. What is it?" he asked again, encouragingto speak my mind.
Fidgeting with my fingers under the table, I calmed my emotions in turmoil and voiced out, "I was thinking... before we go back to the kingdom..... I just....." Taking a pause, I took a deep breath before continuing, "I'd like to visit my father and brother's graves one last time." I thought he would give it a few minutes of thought first, as we were busy with everything on our hands right now, but to my surprise, he mirrored my solemn eyes and rodded without thinking twice. "Of course. We'll leave tomorrow morning. You deserve that moment with them." A smile immediately formed on my lips, and a sigh of relief unconsciously escaped my lips as the tension on my shoulders relaxed.
We talked for a while about smilitary-related matters, and when he suddenly asked, "So... After we return to the kingdom, what are your plans?" I stared at him for a while, wondering why he suddenly asked, but the questioning eyes I gave him only made him ask further.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt"Do you plan to stay as a warrior, or will you follow your mother's wishes this time?" he clarified.
Bitterness filledas I remembered the past and how my desire to fulfil those wishes had broughtthe pain I was carrying now. I know that it wasn't what my mother wanted when she made those wishes.
Letting out a bitter smile, I softly replied, "I already followed her wishes once." "I got married, remember?" I tried to joke, but it cout in a bitter tone instead.
>> He nodded his head in agreement. "It was a bad marriage indeed. Better to find a better one.' Hearing that, I laughed and shook my head in immense disagreement. "I already got married. It is what it is, and there's no undoing of what has already happened." Shrugging my shoulders, I added, "Besides, whether a marriage is a good or bad decision... there's really no way of knowing it for sure until we live through it. For a woman marriage is the greatest gamble, and I lost this round." Looking up at him with determined eyes, I replied with conviction, "I don't plan to gamble again." A smirk laced with pride flashed on his lips as he nodded his head. "A sound decision. Indeed, following her wishes once is enough. Besides, what's so appealing about marriage anyway? I don't plan to marry either..." He stopped midway and intently looked into my eyes as if he was reading my soul, making my breathing hitch and my heart pound like crazy as I awaited his next words, which only brought more butterflies into my stomach. Especially when he said those next words in a soft and loving manner, "Unless... I find the suitable woman for me." My eyes lingered on him as if our gazes were flued into each other. His words echo in my mind like a broken record, but I dare not ask further.
1/2 Chapter 86 "We should rest. Tomorrow would be a long day..." He finally looked away first, seemingly freeingfrom the trance his eyes had cagedin earlier.
I let out a sigh as soon as I heard that. Tomorrow was the day Glenda would receive her punishment, and we were both sure there would be a lot of awaiting for us to witness.
Standing up, he motioned toward the door, guidingand walkingback to my tent as usual.
Nodding my head, I stood up. "You're right, and it will sure be a heck of a long day tomorrow." We both let out a soft laugh as we walked toward my tent.
"So, I suggest you get as much sleep as you can get now," adviced after we stopped in front of my room. "Thank you, Prince Deacon." With that, we bid our goodbyes, and I separated.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAs I entered my room, I found that Maise and Saige were still not there. I that didn't get worried thinking that they might still be outside and having fun with the other warriors since they were still celebrating So, without worry and hesitation, I slammed myself down on the bed and stared at the ceiling as Pricne Deacon's sudden question and words earlier echoed in my mind again.
My heartbeat went fast at the mere thought of it, and I couldn't help but wonder if there was shidden meaning behind those words.
His words sounded a bit strange for sreason... Could he mean...
Before my mind could jump into sridiculous assumption, I immediately shook my head and scolded myself, No! That's ridiculous!" I was just probably overthinking things and reading too much into his words.
He probably just wantedto stay as a general. After all, the kingdom needs young, capable leaders, and the King's been desperate for reinforcements lately. Yup... that must be it... I thought as I let myself fall into sleep.
