Chapter 455 The Long Lost Tale Part I

Alicia looked at Alex. His face was full of concern and worry.

"Alex, take her back to her room. Let me check on her there, okay?" Alicia tried to persuade Alex. _{ƒreewebηoveℓ.com}

The man gave her a hard stare but gladly, he followed her instruction. Alex headed towards Abigail’s room and Alicia followed, leaving the other men behind.

Kai looked at Raven and Zeke with a frown on his face. He had no idea what was going on anymore so he couldn’t help but ask.

"Zeke, what just happened?"

Zeke just shrugged as he stood up and left the room. Truth be told, he had no idea as well. For the first time in what seemed like a long time, he was actually just as in the dark as those two men he left behind.

Back in Abi’s room, Alex gently placed Abigail on her bed.

The necklace in her hand was still glowing and Alex still looked extremely worried.

"Don’t worry, Alex. She’ll be alright. I trust the late queen and I know you do as well. She wouldn’t have given that necklace to Abigail if it was dangerous," Alicia assured him after she checked on Abigail.

Alex was silent as he held Abi’s hand, looking at her face. His face was dark, his unease evident in his expression and body language. It was obvious that he didn’t like this thing that was happening to Abigail. His reaction showed how much he disliked that Abigail was becoming more deeply involved in his dangerous world, in this hell that he had inadvertently drawn her into.

"I thought I needed to wait for the full moon to come out but it seems I don’t need to do that anymore. This is the sign for me to perform the ritual now," Alicia explained.

Alex glanced at her, still hesitant despite her reassuring words earlier. He straightened up and still, he said nothing.

"Please trust me, Alexander. We need to know why the late queen gave this necklace to her. We need to know everything. We can’t be stumbling around in the dark again not knowing what’s waiting ahead of us. And I truly believe that Abigail herself would want to know everything as well. We all need answers or we will never be able to live peacefully, knowing there is an unknown threat looming over all of us. You know how badly she wants to help us so trust her this time, Alexander. This will not harm her. She will be alright."

Alex’s grip on Abigail’s hand tightened. His golden eyes blazing calmly like molten lava. Alex had been feeling this unease since that night he found Abigail in the forest with all those dead bodies around her. If he had a choice, he would have gladly whisked Abigail away to a faraway land where they both could live that peaceful and mundane, married life. But, she wouldn’t be safe until this threat was eradicated.

So, as much as he wanted to just spend the rest of his days with Abigail on an island of their own, Alicia was right. As much as he wanted to keep Abigail from being more involved, what if keeping her out of it ended up hurting her instead?
