After hours of staying inside the room, Ava finally had the strength to walk out and find Matthew. Ava knew that the latter was busy so she thought she could do a little exploring since she haven’t had the chance to do that since she arrived.
She walked towards Matthew’s walk-in closet which looked larger than any room that Ava had ever stayed in. She wasn’t surprised to see her clothes inside the closet. He must have instructed his people to bring her things here while she was sleeping.
Just as she started looking for a dress that would cover her whole body, the mirror in front of her started to sparkle. She frowned.
"Baba?" she asked. There are only two people that knew how to communicate like this and that is Baba and the Shaman. This place doesn’t have any phone reception so the only way for them to talk to each other was by writing letters or using an ancient spell that Shaman Gaas provided.
It was an ancient spell that was pretty popular in Egypt back in the day.
"I have been trying to call you."
"I was sleeping."
"In the middle of the day?"
Ava pursed her lips in response. She knew the older woman didn’t call her to ask about her... sex life.
"Why did you call me?" she asked. They agreed to only use this way to communicate if they have very important reasons to do so. They did this to avoid any complications as some witches are very sensitive when it comes to magick.
"There has been some problem. I believe you should leave that place immediately."
"Why?" Ava frowned. This isn’t like Baba. "You know I can’t leave Matthew."
"I know. But I have gathered some news about an upcoming revolution. Some witches are working with noble families to create chaos inside the Kingdom."
"What about Matthew?"
"He needed to stay."
"And I can’t?" Ava immediately found that strange. First and foremost, Baba knew that Matthew and she were mates. And that their body starts to suffer once they stay away from each other.
"Amore had joined in..."
"Amore?"
"She’s hell-bent on looking for a dream walker," Baba gave Ava a meaningful look. "I have heard rumors that she found someone that could sense another dream walker."
"The only people that could sense dream walkers are other dreamwalkers."
"That might not be the case. I’ve heard of some manuscripts that they found hidden in the archives of the Vatican."
Ava turned silent. She recalled what the old Shaman said about Amore and Romeo. The old man mentioned something about Romeo’s soul being in another dimension thanks to Ava’s doing. Was Amore trying to undo that?
Even the Shaman said that it would be impossible. Especially since a lot of time has already passed.
To instigate a war just because of her son...
Actually, Ava understood this. A lot of mothers would do everything for their kids. But Romeo is just...
Ava sighed.
"I can’t leave Matthew alone."
"You will be in great danger and Matthew knew that."
"Sorry, I can’t leave now."
"Ava..."
"Hm?"
"Are you... alright?"
"Of course," she smiled.
"Is there something that you want to tell me?"
"I don’t think so," she answered almost immediately. For some reason, the old woman’s words gave her goosebumps. Baba was pretty but Ava would never see her as a caring woman.
To Ava, Baba is too cold and calculating. She’s intimidating and powerful. Even if Ava could now fight against Baba and had the possibility of winning, she still felt chills while thinking about the woman.
Something about Baba was just too mysterious and dark.
"Baba, did something happen?"
"No. I am just terribly worried. After what happened with Matthew..."
"Matthew isn’t as weak as you think." Ava blurted out.
For a few seconds, Baba just stared at Ava. "I know," Baba said. "Trust me... I know."
After a few more minutes, they ended the call and Ava found a dress that would suit her taste and um... purpose. It covered her neck, her arms, and even her legs! Plus, it didn’t look too obvious as the dress was very beautiful and elegant. She wondered why this dress was in the closet when she didn’t bring this with her.
It took her a couple more minutes to finally finished her preparation and get out of the room. ƒree𝑤ebnσvel-com
"Hm? Jeez!" Ava exclaimed when she opened the door and saw Ulva standing just outside.
Ulva’s face was devoid of any expression as she said, "I was just about to knock."
"Right," Ava nodded. "Do you need something?"
"A few minutes of your time?"
The changes in Ulva’s tone were very noticeable.
"Sure." Ava nodded.
In response, Ulva led Ava outside of the palace and into the space surrounded by large trees, it was a man-made forest!
"You are not going to— "
"Save the joke," Ulva said. "I cannot kill you. Even if I wanted to."
"That was pretty harsh."
"What you did with Matthew has been the topic of every conversation today," Ulva said, ignoring Ava’s comments. Her voice was steady and stern. It was the voice of a strict teacher who was trying to scold a student.
"I didn’t know that witches in this place are too nosy." Ava snorted.
"I don’t see anything entertaining about this..." Ulva stopped walking. By now, they were already a few tens of feet away from the entrance of the forest. Surrounded by trees and greeneries, Ava couldn’t help but smile.
"I don’t want to be the one wiping off that smile on your face," Ulva said.
"What do you mean?"
"For the sake of the witches, please stop sleeping with his highness Matthew," Ulva said as she stared straight into Ava’s eyes.
"And why would I do that?" Ava asked in a calm tone.
"Your highly indecent actions have caused some... domino effects inside the Kingdom. Now witches and some Lycans are starting to entertain the thought of sleeping with each other."
"And? How does other people’s sex life affect me?"
"Witches and Lycans cannot give birth! That would be the death of the Lycans!" Ulva said.
