My Lady Chef novel Chapter 92

Ezran's POV:

My hands clenched as the small paper I received for the messenger hawk blew up, causing my men to jump.

I was currently escorting the Royal Princes and the foreign guest. Halfway to the Warp Point where we will be teleported to Guthrie, I received an urgent message from my second-in-command.

Urging my Emyu forward, I gave command of the entourage to one of my senior knights and jumped off my horse before I went to the forest and started running till I saw a cliff and jumped.

Bonds cracked and black flames engulfed my body as I spread my scaly wings and I flew straight towards the city.

The content of the letter was precise. Oswald is known for his bluntness and the words he word shook me to my very core.

{ Supply Carts compromised and Ambushed by 30 of the remnants belonging to King Chernov's faction. Lady Alaina protected the gates and is now weakened from using magic. Magic used were both high tier. Class 2 Ice Barrier and a Class 3 Containment Spell. Sweeping the city for any survivors.

Her condition is unknown.}

My wife used magic?

I remember the blue barrier she conjured up before when a wereboar attacked her but that was a small-sized one. The city gates are wider and bigger. A barrier of that size requires at least 4 advanced mages to cover it all.

And Oswald said she did it all on her own? Was she even thinking?

My heart ached as I flapped my wings faster and went straight towards the Warp Point's portal that transported me to Guthrie.

For the first time in my life I got angry at Alaina and I aim to give her a good scolding when she is out of danger.

The wind was strong today so I easily got back to Guthrie and landed on the Castle courtyard, scaring a few servants as I shifted back to my human form. I yelled for someone to tell me where my wife was and a younger girl servant said that she was in the castle's hospital ward.

Cursing in several languages, I asked one servant to lead me there. I did not care that she was trembling with fear.

When I arrived at the spacious room, I saw one man dressed in brown speaking to someone in a drape-covered bed.

I stormed in and startled the man beside my wife who looked shocked to see me even as her knight Kain bowed to me in greeting.

She looked a bit pale and I saw her hand being held by the doctor who bowed to me as well.

"How is my wife?" I growled at him.

"She is a bit weak from using her mana, Your Grace. But it is nothing a few hours rest would not fix. I already gave her a recovering tonic and her vitals are strong."

"Good. Get out. I want a word in with my wife."

The doctor hastily left, which was good because my eyes are only for my wife.

She looked tired but I can see that her soul remains strong but Oswald's message made my anger resurface again.

But when my eyes met hers, as if by some miracle. All of the anger melted away out as I sat down on the bed and hugged her in my relief...

"M-milord...." Her voice cracked and she shivered. "A-are you mad? I am sorry if I scared you..."

Her words which sounded like it could end in a tearful sob melted away the last of my anger but now I am somewhat restless...
