Chapter 428 Chapter 428 It's not your fault
"Get up, Nora! Please, get up!" Her mental plea echoed in the recesses of her consciousness, a silent prayer for the safety of her friend.
The scene unfolded before Tiffany like a nightmare, each second stretching into an agonizing eternity. Doubt and terror mingled within her, threatening to overwhelm reason. "What do I do? I can't just stand here!" The realization struck her with a force that cut through the immobilizing fear.
The black figure moved away from Nora motionless figure and moved close to Tiffany. The seconds hung heavy as Tiffany's eyes remained fixed on Nora's unmoving form "Nora, please! Wake up!" Her voice quivered with a mix of fear and anguish, the echoes of her own vulnerability bouncing off the remnants of the shattered carriage. Dread gnawed at her, and the silent question persisted: Was Nora still among the living, or had the shadows of death claimed her?
Before Tiffany could grapple with the uncertainty, the black figure, a harbinger of danger, closed the distance. Fear seized Tiffany in its icy grip, rendering her momentarily inert. "What do I do? I can't just stand here," she mentally implored herself, the urgency of the situation pushing her to overcome the paralyzing shock. The instinct to fight back faded into the background, overshadowed by the paralyzing presence of imminent danger.
As the ominous figure drew nearer, Tiffany's breaths quickened, the air around her thick with a palpable sense of impending doom. The figure's arm ascended with deliberate intent, and in a chilling display of dark magic, black mana condensed into the form of a massive blade on the palm of its hand.
Tiffany's breath caught in her throat, and the world around her blurred into a nightmarish haze. The fight-or-flight instinct struggled against the stifling tendrils of terror.
Crystal came into the room and noticed Nexus in deep thoughts. He was zoned out, and this made Crystal upset. She knew since the day Nexus was attacked; he wasn't like himself. His mind had taken a lot, and the damage done to his body made him feel inferior as well. She heard the conversation between him and Nora and got concerned for Tiffany's well being. She knew well how bad Nora's temper was, and if this escalated to the wrong side, it would be the worst case.
"Master, are you alright?" Crystal asked from Nexus.
He smiled at her and nodded his head. "Fine! I am better now." It relaxed Crystal a bit to hear Nexus was feeling better, so thought of asking him about Nora.
"I heard your conversation with Nora a few minutes ago. It is actually a good sign that Nora has felt guilty of her actions and that she is willing to correct her mistake by apologizing to Tiffany. But I am kinda scared. We have seen how much power she holds and most of the time, her powers work according to her mood. I am concerned for Tiffany. Are you comfortable with Nora communicating alone with Tiffany? We never know when she starts to get mad."
Nexus looked at Crystal and realized that she was right. Nora gave a nasty expression to Tiffany at the dinner. She might have realized it was rude, but there was no guarantee she wouldn't do it again. Moreover, her jealousy was heavy compared to other ladies in Nexus's life. It made Nexus think about it further. He might have agreed with Nora's decision of returning Tiffany her cloak, but things would get worse if Nora got jealous for some reason. Nora's behavior was getting out of hand lately and her over-exaggerated temperature with other women around would only bring troubles in her way.
If she hurt Tiffany in any way, it would create a feud between Russell and Jame's family. If that happened, a civil war might break out and it won't end with happy ends. To protect Tiffany and Nora from such a situation, Nexus came out with a plan.
"Crystal, you are right about this. I didn't give it much thought on this matter. Perhaps it was my duty to protect both the girls from such a situation. I don't know why I acted so carelessly." Nexus admitted his mistake.
"It's not your fault, Master. I understand you have been under pressure since the day of the attack."nove.lb/1n
