Все главы Second chance at happiness: Глава 351 - Глава 360

Leonie raised her head to look at the young man beside her, not realizing that she was looking at the sovereign of the land.She blushed as she saw him looking at her with a smile. He was more handsome than anyone she had ever seen… the gentleness in his eyes and the soft curl of his lips as he looked at her… it felt as though his smile was meant just for her. Her young heart fluttered, faster than a bee in flight.The darkness below seemed to pulse, as though reminding her just how little stood between safety and falling.Her fingers loosened… then tightened again.Indecision…Awareness.And something else… something far more dangerous than the drop beneath them.Slowly… cautiously… she shifted her hand.Not quite reaching… not quite refusing.Just enough that the space between them felt suddenly charged… fragile, like the narrow path beneath their feet.Orseus did not move to close the distance.Did not rush… did not push.For once… he waited.“Keep moving…” Leal nudged gently, notici

“Are you talking about the healer you got the medicine from last time?” Matthew asked almost at the same time as Harry. The memory of the miracle potion that had healed both his son-in-law and his sworn brother resurfaced as they were talking.“If I cannot find a solution, no other healer will be able to…” Zelda shook her head, disappointment flickering across her face as she began to understand the source of Mira’s confidence.She knew Mira didn’t mean to undermine her skills; they were simply not familiar with her abilities. Although disappointed, she wasn’t offended. It wasn’t arrogance, but reality; at present, there was no one who could rival her mastery of alchemy and magic.“Master, I think it is worth exploring.”Esmeralda, who had been quiet until now, stepped forward as soon as she realized who Mira was referring to. She moved closer to Zelda and whispered, “She got the potion that healed young master from that healer, the nectar from what I believe is the Aetherlily bloom.”

Mira ducked into the space once she was on her own. She sat by the stream, staring at the fish swimming happily in the water.“How can I resolve this without bringing trouble upon myself?” she mulled softly. “Am I being greedy, wanting to hold on to my happiness?”“Greedy… yes.”Mira jumped in fright at the aged—yet soft, almost soothing—voice. This was her space. How could anyone get in here? She nearly fell into the stream, but a firm arm caught her in time.“Clumsy too…”Mira raised her head, part fear, part curiosity, as a low chuckle reached her ears.“Eldora…?” she asked cautiously, her eyes widening in wonder.“Child, how much longer are you going to stay in my arms?” The amused smile never left Eldora’s face.“You… you have a body… You’re not an apparition anymore?”“Yes… thanks to you.”“Me?” Mira pointed at herself, tilting her head. Her eyes slowly filled with understanding as she recalled Eldora’s words from their first encounter.“Is it because you’ve rested enough?” Mira

Jack couldn’t bear to stay angry with his beloved wife.But anger didn’t simply disappear. It lingered, coiling tighter, sharper, demanding release. And he knew what awaited him when he returned… the conversation would continue.So, he went to the one place where he could vent without guilt- the training field.At first, the soldiers were thrilled.Training with their lord- sparring, no less, in one-on-one combat. They rushed forward, eager to prove themselves, competing for the honour.Then the first man hit the ground. Hard.The second lasted longer, just long enough to realise his mistake.By the third, the mood shifted.They realized that this wasn’t a simple training session.This was a storm wearing a man’s skin. And they were standing in its path.Their lord was venting his anger, and they, the little shrimps, were no match for the lion.The clever ones began to disappear, quietly, quickly, remembering urgent duties elsewhere.The slower ones learned the hard way.Jack spent the

By dawn the next day, Jack and his entourage had arrived at the ice cave. This time, there were no surprises… they knew the drill.Zelda was at her last straw when Jack arrived.She had forgotten just how insufferable those two could be… or rather, how insufferable they became when their sworn brother was hurt. Any longer, and she might have ended up blowing the two of them…and this entire place apart…“Do you have a plan?” Zelda asked, her expression midway between enthusiasm and exasperation. She had never felt so desperate as in these 24 hours… even the decade long frustration of not being to find a cure couldn’t compare…Jack cocked an eyebrow towards Thomas, taking in Zelda’s state.“That’s my father for you…” Thomas muttered. He leaned forward and whispered, “Add godfather Cornelius into the mix… I am honestly impressed this place is still standing.”“The children have a plan.” Jerome shrugged; he wasn’t convinced but there wasn’t anything much he do either.Zelda turned her atte
