Tangled By Fate

Chapter 563: FOR A SOLUTION



"I'm not meeting them. I don't think I have the face to meet them yet. I also don't think they will approve of our marriage," Dorothy expressed her grief.

"You are right," Nisay said. She exchanges glances with Asha. "Our families only care about family lineage. Blood is everything to them. But your soon-to-be husband is the Second Master of the Magic Tower. You will be the Governess of the Magic Tower if you marry him. Shouldn't your family approve of it? Nothing is better than being the fourth most powerful woman in the kingdom."

There was a heavy silence after what she said. Both Asha and Nisay thought about their love and how they sacrificed them for their families. Dorothy sympathized with them. No matter how many trials she had to face, at least she could get married to her lover.

"So, what are you planning for the wedding?" Asha asked, trying to change the atmosphere. "Oh, I already planned everything," Dorothy told them the details of her plan.

"This is going to be the most gorgeous wedding ever!" Nisay became excited. "Tell us what you want us to do. I'll empty my schedule for your wedding. This should be the wedding of the century!" She looked at Asha and asked, "Do you remember the wedding of the Master and the Mistress of the Magic Tower? It was something but THIS is what we called GRAND!"

Her excitement reached Asha too. They started planning together.

The Elven Realm

It had been a week since Veronica was looking for a way to revive Sister Ruth. However, it wasn't as easy as she thought. Urulas wanted to help her but he was swarmed with duties. Moreover, he was still looking for his elder brother who hid after harming Veronica.

Veronica couldn't ask Ironin or Felix to help her. They didn't know an unpopular dead language. So, the entire responsibility fell on her tiny shoulders.

Felix kept an eye on her while chewing the freshly picked green leaves with a bored face. He didn't want to be a rude person but he was so tired of eating raw leaves every day. There was no meat, no flavor. He couldn't understand how people were surviving in this world. Since Veronica and Ironin never said anything, he kept his mouth shut. He also felt helpless for not being able to help Veronica.

Ironin quietly organized the papers around Veronica while she read the scrolls. At one point, she stood up. Her eyes were tickling with excitement.

"I think I know where I have to go," she declared.

Ironin paused and Felix jumped out of the chair. "Do you? What do we have to do?"

"We have to go to the Rosemary Temple," she said.

Felix couldn't talk for a few seconds. "...You mean... we need to go to Utahill?"

"Yes, we should go as soon as possible!" Veronica was excited. She didn't give herself any rest these last few days. All she was looking for was a way for a solution. However, today, she noticed one scroll mentioned spirits.

"Here, look," she showed them the scroll. "If there is no body of the dead person but the person's spirit remains, there is a possibility to revive the person!"

Felix and Ironin stared at the scroll without understanding anything. Instead, they felt her excitement. They exchanged glances.

"Before we go, we need to inform Arthur," Felix stated. "We might meet Zinnia and Darius in the Alps."

"Are we meeting them there? Why are they there?" Veronica was surprised. She didn't know everyone's secret missions. Arthur's missions had nothing to do with her. She had her responsibilities, which her husband couldn't interfere with.

"They have a mission," Ironin replied. He didn't want to say anything further. Felix didn't add anything either.

Although she was curious, she didn't push for an answer. More importantly, she had to find a solution. She was close to seeing Sister Ruth once again.

"Wait, you mentioned spirits but Ruth's spirit is gone," Felix stated. "You gave me the last bits of her."

"I remember," Veronica said. "I cannot tell you everything, Felix. I apologize." "Okay," Felix said. The hope that was slipping from his finger finally came to his palm. He who didn't believe in religion prayed to the Goddess.

Later on, Arthur communicated and Veronica told him that she wanted to visit Utahill.

He frowned when he heard her plan but then said, "Sure, you can go there. I might come and see you."

"You don't have to! Don't you have work to finish? I heard Zinnia and Darius are there. It'll be just fine."

"But..."

"I'm going to be with your most fearsome army. Do you not trust their skills? Moreover, you are not allowed to use magic in Utahill, what can you do there? Finish your work, all right? I will be with you as soon as possible."

As Veronica persuaded him, Arthur finally agreed. "All right, then. I will leave it to you. You have to hurry though. Ovior and Dorothy are getting married at the end of the month."

"Oh my! Really?!" Veronica was surprised and delighted upon hearing the news. "We have three more weeks! That won't be an issue. Unlike here, we can teleport everywhere in the Human Realm. We will be there as soon as possible."

"You promised. You cannot miss it," Arthur said.

After the communication ended, Veronica decided to meet Urulas. He wasn't home. So, she headed to the Royal Tree. The guards saw her. They bowed and let her enter.

Elven King Erestor Culnámo was sitting on the throne. "Are you done with everything you are here for?" he asked.

"I have not, Your Majesty," Veronica answered.

"How may I help you then?"

"I have to visit the Human Realm for a couple of weeks. I will be back after that. I wanted to inform the Second Prince but he wasn't present. So, I came to inform you, Your Majesty."

Elven King Erestor Culnámo hummed when he heard her reasons. His index finger tapped the handle of the throne. He didn't give his permission yet, he didn't stop her either.
