Chapter 166: Secrets

"I don't want to be suspicious of her," Nikolai muttered as he stopped in his tracks. He was just a few meters away from the makeshift tent he had made for Mineah, and he couldn't help but simply stare at it while he busied his head with the various thoughts he kept having.

For days, Mineah refused to participate in the search, simply letting her mother and wizard Lurio do it while she herself just rested. He told her that she could get more energy from him, but she refused to do so saying that her mother and wizard Lurio would be able to manage the search without her. But as he had observed, it wasn't productive at all. 

Then, after a few days of rest, his wife finally decided to participate in the search with him. He hadn't felt her getting energy from him ever since they started, but he was sure that she was still searching. But then, Vulcan showed up, and that look on her face…

Nikolai quickly shook his head and scoffed. "There's no way Vulcan's using Ezekiel's body, right?" he reasoned to himself. "No human can withstand that kind of power without dying."

At least, that was what he told himself. Despite everything, he found it weird as to why Vulcan wasn't attacking. It was in its nature to destroy any living thing it sees, and yet why was it only attack Helion's army? There was something really unsettling here, but he couldn't just go ahead and interrogate his wife. He wanted to trust her, and he shall do exactly that.

Shaking his head from his thoughts, Nikolai let out a loud sigh before he quickly stretched his lips wide as he watched Mineah go out of their makeshift tent.
