Gabriel stared at the message from Aurevalis under the flicker of the table lamp. His other hand rested above Amelie's head, who was sleeping peacefully.
'Why am I feeling the urge to go to Aurevalis? Though I don't want to, a part of my heart says I should go there,' Gabriel thought. The letter had only a few words written, another reason why Gabriel was reluctant to make the journey.
'Something is missing, which I'm unable to detect or understand.'
'You should go,' Valko told him. 'Noah and Amelie are safe in the palace. Now, even Mom isn't against them or your choices. We can't stay here and get troubled over this every day.'
'What if it's a trap?' Gabriel argued back.
'Since when did we start worrying about traps? We always find a way to get out of them,' Valko said proudly.
'It's different now. I don't want my life to fall into danger because that would bring distress to Amelie. That's my main reason for holding back.'
