Bad Premonition

Seeing Alaric's sad face, Aleksis almost hugged him, but she soon realized that there were many people paying attention to them and they were waiting for an explanation about what had happened. She had no choice but to restrain herself.

She also caught a glimpse of Nicolae looking at them in confusion. The man was very kind. Even though he was Aleksis' future husband, he did not forcefully approach when Lauriel asked not to be disturbed. He patiently stood in the corner with Vega who was in his arms.

"Your wounds have been treated. Tomorrow you should be able to walk like before." After a while, Lauriel finally said.

"Thank you, Uncle Rory," replied Aleksis.

"Thank you," Alaric also nodded. He still didn't have the heart to call Lauriel father.

Now the awaited moment arrived. The moment of truth.
