Chapter 789 - She Is Enchanted (2/2)

"Are you going far?" Harlow suddenly became interested to hear about Raphael's travel plans If the de tiation "How long?"

Raphael nodded "Yeah I do not knohen I will be back However, I shall return in the soonest chance I can"

"Where are you going?" Harlow asked again She thought Raphael's trip was too sudden Did he decide to take this trip because of what happened today?

"I can't say, unfortunately," Raphael said apologetically His attitude to Harlow had changed After his sudden emotional outburst earlier today, the man seemed to work hard to maintain his flat expression

Maybe he was embarrassed because Harlow had seen his vulnerable side Or, perhaps, he was playing another game with her mind now Harlow didn't know if she could trust him At this point, she wanted to protect herself and not take risks by trusting anyone

She had put her faith in Julian only to be disappointed She didn't want to experience the sao out of this castle, right?" Harlow asked Raphael again to make sure

"Yes" Raphael nodded

"Thanks, I o out for a bit after I feel better" Harlow forced a smile "Safe travels I will rest now"

She turned around and left Raphael alone in the dining hall The ly until Harlow disappeared froone, Raphael turned to see outside theThe weather looked bad He hoped she wouldn't force herself to go out after she took a nap Perhaps, he could send sohts to look after her from afar

He would have done it on his own if he didn't need to go to Cretea He must find his father and try to make a new deal

Before he turned around, Raphael was struck by his reflection on the 's glass Theback at hi for the past several days

He didn't have the ugly horns thatbecause he was distraught, but they didn't look nearly half as scary as the red eyes she saw on hihed He also would find it hard to love ato marry hio for a bit," Raphael called Beth to coave her instructions before he left "My wife thinks you all look like scary deive her It's not her fault She is enchanted"

He added, "I have used one, the ht wane off after a while So, please understand if she showed some discomforts around you Don't take it personally"

"Understood,woman bowed down to Raphael respectfully "I will let the others know"

"She is resting in her room because of a headache Please check up on her often"

"Will do, my lord"

"Thank you," Raphael forced a so now I'll try to return as soon as possible"

Raphael closed his eyes and suddenly he disappeared froreatly She hadher ti there, but only a few could do what Raphael just did

Harloas crying in her bedroom She missed her mother and father very much, even her two brothers She didn't really re around with Icecube to visit several different places, she had lost track of tihttime She didn't have a calendar with her and she also didn't take notes of the ti now? Were they looking for her? Even if they could send a search party all the way to Mount Tempest or Myreen to follow her tracks, it would take them months just to arrive in Myreen

They didn't have dragons like Icecube which could cut down the travel ti Alexander Leoralei and got the information from him that Harloent to the elven realht not be so lucky to find the portal easily

"Oh, mother I o home"

KNOCK KNOCK

Harlow's cry paused when she heard knocking sounds on the door She asked, "Who is it?"

"Your Highness, this is Beth," the servant replied fro a headache I co you anything?"

Harloas touched by the gesture However, she didn't need anything So, she declined politely "I ahness"

I hope this clears some confusion about what really happened I intentionally wrote Raphael's perspective in this chapter to show that things are not what they seem
