Chapter 78: Coffins Of Bequest

Novena gripped the book in her hand. The revelation she acquired was overwhelming. She thought that being a guardian would be boring but it's giving her so much catenate on the neck. Novena never imagined that she will doubt the field she was bestowed with.

Her trains of thoughts content complains, allegations and accusations. When she voiced out the ugly wordings from her mind, They comforted her instead of rebuking her. She received a response that it was normal to react that way, since no one is perfect.

Ophir had some clue according to Ahava's testimony. It might have been that her mother was a previous Harpsichord but his gut and instinct is not coordinating at all. When he made his way to the library, he halted and hid when he saw Lehi watching the huge door. Ophir waited and observed what will be her actions but Lehi just stood their staring at the huge door.

Ophir sighed and held himself from plunging himself toward his wife. He needs to be firm this time to avoid anymore casualties especially putting his wife on a complicated ground. He purposefully walked around the mansion to waste his time. In fact, he is avoiding Lehi because he can't figure out how to take back what he just uttered.

Novena cannot fight this battle alone that is why she was adviced to choose one person who would keep the secret with her. When she had her head review about someone who can confide and understand her spot. She immediately decided to profess everything.

Her choice would be this person because his way of life is not that humble nor royal but because his heart and mindset is united and that is for Kingdom building. She appeared to Cyrus who did not even bat an eye when she had shown her true form. When Novena truthfully exposed her identity Cyrus just answered with assurance.

"Grandfather used to talk about those kinds of things when I was a kid. For generation the Oathniel family are the armour of Harpsichord and I was just waiting for you to confess it."

Cyrus laid out his plans and findings about the research book Three-fourths. And Novena cannot fathom how wise and understanding her King was. Novena can now trust and move without doubt with Cyrus overlooking everything.

"Plus my ancestor was the first pair of Harpsichord. After her journey she decided to write a scroll within the family and it's to aid the Harpsichord, Although I never thought that someone will be sent during my reign."

Cyrus admitted and he added sheepishly.

"It would be an honor and great privilege to be side by side with the people who will gather every unsaid truth."

Ophir retired for the night when the clock hit midnight. He wanted to be late because he aims to avoid dealing with Lehi. But as soon as he had his hand on the door knob and twisted it. Lehi transported in front of him with her night dress. Ophir was about to close the door and return at the living room but Lehi's irked voice fluctuated his resolution.

"Dear husband, if you close this door and run away tonight make sure that you won't regret it, hmmn?"

Ophir looked at his wife in disbelief she just copied what he did to her this noon. Ophir waltz inside their chamber and banged the door as he enter the shower room.

Natalina observed Ahava's room. It was beautiful. Her letterings were wonderful. The stroke was strong and organized. She studied their family picture and saw a woman's older version of her. She can say that her room have the touch of papers and ink.

Hexel stayed awake that night. He recalled how his sword thrust one Ahl's vein and it did not bleed, was it possible for someone to sleep without his blood flowing or his heart pumping? He had seen surgeries and disecting since he was a kid since his mother is the head of El Oathniel Medical Rescue and this is the first time he witnessed someone breathing with a heart that paused it task. He decided to send a letter even if it mean her mother begging her to get married.

Kiel had been reading and stamping non-stop since he get back. Mem is standing at his side. He had seen how Mem would pester his father and Ophir and he does not wish to be scolded by this knight. He sighed, he needs a break, he wanted to have a lovey dovey time with his wife but here he is dating with numerous white sheets and being courted by ink.

Urchin can't sleep since he visited Ahl's previous engagement. He started to knock at the nearest door in his room and saw Nevi opened it. Nevi is yawning ever since he had his shower but his entire system was keeping him awake. Nevi decided to play with Urchin until they fell asleep.

Lehi was stricken by Ophir's gesture. It disturb her, was her action that offending to Ophir or was her words cut deep within her husband? Lehi heared the water halted within the shower room. She anticipated for Ophir to come out that she waited in front of the door. When Ophir opened the door, Lehi covered her eyes as he waltz around the room only wearing a towel. Lehi turned her back away from him who started to put on his pajama on her view. It's like his stripping in front of her on purpose. After settling, he slump on the bed and covered himself with the blanket.

Lehi had enough, it was everytime that they had fight and she was the one reaching out. Lehi grabbed a pillow and went outside of their chamber. She knocked at Urchin's room and heared Urchin laughed from Nevi's room.

Lehi knocked at Nevi's room and saw the two playing cards. It's pass midnight but Urchin is still energetic. Lehi halted their game and lulled Urchin to get some sleep. Nevi get back with some tea in his hands. Nevi knew that she is upset at the moment.
