Yelena had imagined that Sidrion could be all shriveled up as a result of at any time when she contacted him, the response she at all times obtained again was that he was shedding his wits over the evaluation of the gem powder.

Yelena was stunned by Sidrion’s clear look, which contradicted her creativeness.

“No, it doesn’t imply something. I heard you’ve been working very arduous.”

“No, not that onerous. I usually performed analysis like this up to now. However I used to be coping with fairly unfamiliar territory, so it’s true that I used to be busy.”

“Actually? Properly, it’s good to listen to that you simply haven’t been overworking…” Yelena trailed off.

Since a short time in the past, she had been feeling a mysterious vacancy. The place on the planet was this vacancy coming from?

Yelena contemplated after which she discovered her reply.

“The place’s my older sister?”

“Pardon?”

“Did my sister not include you? I heard that she visited the Black Tower not too way back.”

No, that wasn’t proper. Yelena realized this solely after she spoke the phrases out loud.

It wasn’t “not too way back.” It had already been virtually a month since she had heard the information from Edward. One month was greater than sufficient time for her sister to have returned dwelling already.

‘When did time… No, extra importantly, why did I feel that it was a on condition that Black Tower Proprietor and Liliana would come collectively?’

She had tied these two collectively with out even realizing it, as in the event that they have been two peas in a pod.

Yelena opened her mouth once more, that means to right herself.

“When you’re speaking about Miss Liliana, I took her again to the countdom earlier than I got here right here.”

“…”

Yelena silently closed her mouth.

His response hadn’t been lengthy. However there have been three issues that Yelena simply couldn’t overlook from his concise sentence.

One.

‘He calls her by her identify.’

He had positively known as her Miss Liliana. He may have known as her Girl Sorte if he needed to be extra formal.

Two.

‘If he took her dwelling earlier than coming right here, which means they spent at the least one month collectively.’

One month? Liliana’s journey to the Black Tower hadn’t been transient; it had been a sojourn that had lasted for a complete month.

And lastly, three.

‘When he says he took her again… does that imply he personally introduced her dwelling?’

Yelena’s eyes narrowed. Her head spun. She opened her mouth.

“Black Tower Proprietor, what do you occur to…”

“…?”

“No, by no means thoughts.”

Yelena bit her tongue flippantly. She had virtually requested Sidrion what he considered her older sister.

‘The time isn’t proper.’

It was nonetheless too early. Every thing was simply her hypothesis. The scenario was tremendous suspicious, however unsure however.

‘I shouldn’t soar to conclusions.’

Though she knew she shouldn’t, Yelena’s creativeness ran wild by itself.

If, by the slightest doable likelihood, her older sister and Sidrion obtained collectively, what would occur then? If Sidrion grew to become Liliana’s husband… would Sidrion turn into part of Yelena’s household?

“Why are you me with that expression?”

“My expression? What’s mistaken with my expression?”

“I’m undecided. It’s arduous to clarify…”

Sidrion seemed to be considering lengthy and arduous. Then, as if he had discovered an appropriate analogy, he continued talking.

“Ought to I say that you simply look as if a monster requested to be your good friend in your first encounter?”

“…”

“I felt an incredible sense of repulsion coming from you.”

“No, nicely…”

Ahem. Yelena cleared her throat. She was embarrassed that she had proven that a lot disdain.

‘A monster? I wouldn’t go that far.’

High quality, from an goal standpoint, Black Tower Proprietor changing into Liliana’s husband… wouldn’t be horrible. One may even say that based mostly solely on his specs, he was truly a wonderful alternative.

Standing? He was the grasp of the Black Tower, an impartial entity that even the royal household couldn’t mess with. Test.

Seems? It was true that he was an objectively lovely man that was arduous to return by. Test.

Persona… Properly, that was roughly an issue.

‘Seeing how he’s well mannered when interacting with me, he in all probability is aware of learn how to act round my sister as nicely.’

Irrespective of how nasty his mood was, he was certain to be light in entrance of the individual he beloved.

‘And he’s pals with my husband… With that in consideration, nicely…’

Yelena snapped out of her ideas. She had mentioned this earlier than, however nothing was sure but.

‘I preserve getting forward of myself. I ought to cease fascinated about this.’

Yelena shook her head, shaking away her trivial ideas. She modified the topic.

“Anyhow, what brings you to the ducal fortress? Are the outcomes of the gem powder evaluation out?”

“No, that’s not it,” Sidrion answered and put a pair of bracelets on the desk. “I’ve one thing to offer you.”

“What’s this?”

“I heard that Kaywhin might be going to the northern border quickly.”

The gemstone that was cast into the bracelet shone.

“You possibly can talk over lengthy distances with these bracelets.”
