Awakening Love Reborn to Be His Duchess (Elowen Hale) novel Chapter 615

Chapter 615 Beyond Avenlor

Cassian wasted until klowen had finally said everything weighing on her and before he gently curled s fingers around hers and asked in an way abrown cool tome. Villa haven’t you always loved bonehark riding

As first. Bowen did not understand why he was suddenly bringing that up to the wingly nodded an answered honestly. “Yeah, I do”

Warm amusement flickered through Cassian’s eyes as sunlight filtered through the arched windows behind him, softening, the sharpness of his features. Then if we end up in Nordia someday you’ll be able to ride to your heart’s content. The plains there go on for miles without end and they raise benter horses than anywhere the I’ve ever seen”

Flowen stared at him for a brief moment before realization slowly dawned across her face.

“You’d really go to Nordia with me?

Cassian smiled as though the matter were perfectly ordinary. “Why wouldn’t I?”

The sudden tenderness in his voice made Elowen’s chest tighten all over again, and warmth quickly gathered at the corners of her eyes,

“But here in Avenlor, you’re still a royal duke,” she said quietly. “If we leave for Nordia, nobody there will even know who we are?

Cassan looked at her steadily, his expression impossibly calm.

“But they’ll know you,” he said,

His thumb idly traced slow circles against her fingertips while a faint smile tugged at his mouth

“You’re the Oracle of Nordia, aren’t you? Besides, I heard women there are allowed to formally choose their own husbands. When we married before, I was unconscious for half of it, and there was barely any real ceremony to begin with. Once we’re in Nordia, you can marry me properly this time”

Ylowen could not help laughing, “Who says things like that?”

But halfway through speaking, she looked up and met his gaze directly.

Cassian was watching her with complete sincerity, so earnest that there was not even the slightest trace of teasing in his eyes.

He truly meant it

The realization softened something deep inside her almost instantly

Before she even noticed herself doing it, she had already begun genuinely considering whether such future might actually be possible.

Going to Nordis no lomery wounded unrealistic at all

A smile slowly curved at the corners of her lips as she squeezed his hand in return.

“Then once all this chaos settles down, we’ll go together.”

Cassian nodded without hesitation. “Alright.”

The two of them rose from the bench beneath the covered stone arcade and slowly made their way back through the manor grounds side by side while mellow afternoon sunlight spilled across the pathways, stretching their shadows long over the cobblestones.

As they walked, Elowen suddenly sighed softly and murmured, “I wonder where Grandfather is now. Maybe he’s still traveling around treating people, or maybe he already went back to Falkriver.”

Cassian thought for a moment before replying, “The Southwestern Marches have been in turmoil lately, and Falkriver probably isn’t peaceful anymore either.”

Falkriver stood near the borderlands between Avenlor and the Southwestern Marches, one of the kingdom’s most strategically important fortress cities and the first place caught in the crossfire whenever war broke out in the south.

If fighting spread through the Southwestern Marches, Falkriver would inevitably suffer first.

Elowen lowered her eyes thoughtfully as she considered that.

“Then I think Grandfather probably did return,” she said after a moment. “He acts carefree all the time, and honestly, his mouth can be downright vicious, but he’s still the kindest person I know underneath it all. If there’s war in Falkriver, there’s no way he’d stay elsewhere while people are suffering.” Cassian listened beside her with a quiet smile, allowing her to continue talking without interruption.

“And after we visit Nordia, we can stop by Falkriver too,” Elowen continued brightly. “Cassian, you’d love it there. The mountains are beautiful, and Grandfather even gifted me an entire stretch of highland territory when I was younger.”

She chatted the entire way back without running out of things to say, moving from one story to another while Cassian patiently listened beside her, occasionally asking a question or quietly responding whenever her excitement carried her off into another memory.

Elowen had always grown sleepy easily after eating too much, and once Cassian began slowly massaging the tension from her shoulders and neck while she reclined against the cushioned settee beside the window alcove, the little remaining alertness she had left quickly faded away.

Even though her eyelids had already become too heavy to properly keep open, she still stubbornly refused to release his hand.

“You’re heading to the palace this afternoon, aren’t you?” she mumbled drowsily.

Cassian lowered his gaze toward her.

“We agreed before that we’d present the evidence proving the Queen arranged the attack against me, the said quietly. “Once His Majesty sees everything. Alaric won’t have any way our of this

Elowen gave a sleepy little hum in acknowledgment.

She was obviously exhausted already, yet she still forced herself to add one final reminder.

“Then don’t stay too late. Come back early.”

Cassian bent down and pressed a soft kiss against her forehead.

“I will”

Only after hearing that did Elowen finally loosen her grip on his fingers and drift fully to sleep.

Cassian sat there quietly watching her for a long while before finally rising from the settee and leaving the chamber.

Later that afternoon, carrying every piece of evidence with him, he entered the royal residence and requested an audience with Theodric inside the royal study.

One by one, he laid the evidence across the desk.

Private letters, witness testimonies, coded correspondence, personal seals, and sworn statements all fit together with terrifying clarity, documenting exactly how Isla and the Baker family had secretly conspired years ago to arrange an ambush during his return from the battlefield and send hired blades after him.

As Theodric continued reading through the documents, his expression darkened more visibly with every passing page.

By the end, the restraint he had maintained finally snapped.

He slammed the papers down onto the desk, grabbed the silver drinking goblet beside him, and hurled it violently across the chamber floor.

“These treacherous bastards!”

Dark wine splashed across the carpets while shattered porcelain scattered over the stone tiles.

Cassian lowered his eyes toward the broken fragments before calmly remarking, “Every time Your Majesty loses his temper, Avenlor loses another priceless relic.”

Theodric nearly choked on his own fury.

“At a time like this, that’s what concerns you?”

Then his expression hardened all over again.
