Something Was Amiss

Instead of Nikolai traveling all the way to Ebodia, Ezekiel suggested that he should be the one to travel to Valcrez instead and personally discuss matters with Nikolai. Her brother also wanted to personally meet and talk to Zoran, knowing how Zoran had served the demon king before.

Mineah was so excited to see her brother again, knowing that Tarah would be with him. According to Nikolai, Ezekiel would be traveling with Tarah and the Wizard Lurio through the latter's teleportation spell.

She was in the middle of discussing something with Zaila while sitting on one of the tables near the inner courtyard of the palace when Nikolai reached out to her through their bond.

[Ezekiel is here, Mine. Let me come and pick you up quickly,] Nikolai informed her and before Mineah could even protest, Nikolai was already before them.

"Your Majesty," Zaila politely greeted him and then quickly excused herself to leave. MIneah nodded.
