Chapter 1007 The Simple Wedding
They could only make guesses but none of them would really know the truth of what happened to their crown princess. The knights spread the news that the mountain was now sacred and people shouldn't come near if they didn't want to be cursed by the ice god and died frozen.
Meanwhile, Rowena and Raphael had arrived in the royal palace and she immediately notified all the ministers and lords of the main houses to come and see her in three days for an important meeting. She would announce her father's death and take over power.
With Raphael's help, she was sure she could rule Ashland well and make her kingdom prosperous. After she sent the royal messengers to send the invitation to the ministers and lords in Ashland to see her, Rowena resigned to her chamber with Raphael. As soon as she closed the door behind her, the princess dropped to her knees. She was exhausted and just wanted to lie down.
"Hey, don't sleep here," Raphael chuckled and lifted her in his arms. He carried her toward her bed and gently placed her on the soft mattress. "You must be very tired."
Rowena nodded weakly. "I am not sure how long I was traveling to reach Ashland."
Raphael cleared his throat. "Around one month. Six weeks to be exact."
"Huh? I didn't remember traveling that long," Rowena was confused. "I left Cretea with the pegasus and reached the sea, and then I fell asleep on the pegasus' back. The next thing I know, I landed in front of the ice cave."
"You're not going through a normal timeline," Raphael commented. "Perhaps you were protected by the pegasus during the journey. They have magic too, you know. I had been looking for you for a long time before suddenly my heart told me to look for you in Ashland, the most unlikely place of all places."
"Hmm..." Rowena closed her heavy eyelids and mumbled. "I'm glad you came. I'm glad you followed your heart."
She moved her weak hands to hug him but she felt extremely tired that she had fallen asleep before she could wrap her hands around his waist.
Raphael smiled and pulled her closed and hugged her tightly, careful not to make her feel uncomfortable.
He was also glad he followed his heart when it came to Rowena.
