Chapter 188: Curse from his past life

The next morning, Amelie’s sleep abruptly broke with the same nightmare that she saw in San Ravendale before coming to the palace.

She took deep breaths while caressing her chest, trying to steady her racing heartbeats. frёewebηovel.cѳm

Turning her head, she saw Gabriel sleeping soundly.

’I need to talk about it with the Queen. But what if... She starts blaming me instead of giving me the answers?’ Amelie thought, her heart again palpitating in worry.
