That was a great move, truth be told. That was because Middleton was going to tell the blackguards, who in turn would move all their troops to the gate where they expected Erik and the rebels to come.
It couldn't be different. Erik was the blackguards' primary target, after all, and Volkov had to do as they said. It didn't matter he would Frant, because their real goal would be achieved.
Yet, the only thing they were going to find would be a mass of veritable demons hell bent on killing them all.
Of course, Erik wasn't sure about what would happen. He couldn't see the future, and what he predicted was just an assumption.Nêww chapters will be fully updated at novelhall.com
The main problem was that Zakir and people with more brain crystal powers were going to be there, at least in theory.
But despite a seemingly harsher situation, Erik doubted the Chimaeric Demons would fail. If the situation turned out as he was thinking, for sure he had to tell the Chimaeric Demons that their main goal was to kill Zakir and to kill all those with more powers.
They were going to ambush the blackguards, who were going to think they were going to ambush him.
"When do you plan to make this operation?"
"In a week," Fischer said. "That's when you should ideally attack the prison. If the blackguards move the troops on the northern gate just to apprehend you, then you will have a relatively free rein within the prison. Of course, we can't be sure of that. The blackguards might expect an attack on the prison, leave people there, or even fortify the place. Most of our plan is based on conjectures."
"It doesn't matter. I bet you thought about this situation a lot. I don't think there will be problems, even if the situation doesn't play out as you imagined. Regardless, they won't find me, at least before I find Richard."
"If you say so."
Erik became silent for a second. "Then I will leave; I have to talk to the others about this." "Yes. take care."
With that, Erik left the room. He had to tell Mira, Amber, and especially Emily about the rescue mission. Besides, he had to tell June not to bring the three on the battlefield. It was too dangerous.
June and the Chimaeric Demons had to do this alone. At least, that was what Erik wanted, but, of course, he also had to respect the three women' wishes.
Erik felt a pang of guilt but kept his composure. "We will save him. You must trust me on this, Emily, but we must do it in a way that ensures the blackguards cannot hurt anyone again. Your father's ordeal will soon be over. I made a promise, and I'm going to keep it."
Emily nodded, wiping her eyes. Erik hesitated, then laid a hand on her shoulder. "We will get him back," he said. "I swear it."
Emily looked at Erik, her gaze searching his. After a moment, she whispered. "Thank you."
It was then that the woman did something he never thought she would do. Emily kissed him.
The man's heart swelled with emotion as Emily's lips touched his, a feeling he had not experienced in years.
While pulling her close, he responded to her kiss with a tender passion, his hands gently cradling her face.
For this brief moment, all thoughts about the blackguards, about vengeance, and danger faded away, leaving only his fluttering heart beating inside of him.
As the kiss ended, Emily gazed into Erik's eyes and smiled. "I've waited so long for this," she
said.
A million emotions swirled within him as she said that, but above all, he felt a strong desire to protect this woman who meant so much to him.
The truth was that Erik never forgot her; he never stopped thinking about her or feeling attracted to the beautiful woman.
But the thoughts of Amber and Mira swirled inside of him. Wasn't he doing exactly the same thing they criticized him for?
Or something similar, at least. But, honestly, Erik didn't care. It wasn't like he was doing this because he wanted to hurt them.
It was just because he had feelings. Not only for Amber or for Mira, but even for Emily.
Amber knew this, Mira not, but at this point she should have suspected it given how he treated her.
Erik embraced the woman, lifting her off her seat and slowly going into another room.
