"I ... will try to ask him to give your mate back" Arielle replied, making Abigail burst into tears in her lap.
Why was it like this? Arielle should be the one who knelt down to apologize to Abigail. She grabbed Abigail’s shoulder and wiped the woman’s tears. Arielle gently helped Abigail to lie on the big rock that beca her bed. Now, it was Arielle’s turn to kneel in front of Abigail.
"Abigail... I’m really sorry for my husband’s actions ten years ago. Allow , on behalf of my husband, to apologize to you."
That was all Arielle could say with her head lowered. She couldn’t bla Ronan because what the man did was for the good of the people, but she also regretted that Ronan had killed one dragon. Her husband also hurt another dragon indirectly. It was Abigail. Of course, Arielle couldn’t convey that right now. Her apology would only sound stupid and not sincere at all.
Arielle really ant it when she apologized to Abigail.
Abigail wiped her own tears, then nodded her head.
"From the start, I found it hard to hate you, Arielle. I can’t... Even though I know you weren’t involved in the tragedy ten years ago, I still hope you can get Xavier’s head back from your husband..." Abigail replied and Arielle nodded her head.
"I’ll give it a try, Abigail, but on one condition."
Abigail looked up to see Arielle. "Stay alive. I beg you... your children will always need you, Abigail. Please don’t say anything like that again..."
Abigail just smiled. Arielle was really naïve. When the dragons got an instinct that their lives were running out, it would surely happen. No matter how much they tried to keep death away from them, it was futile. Abigail didn’t want Arielle to be consud by an empty promise, so she chose to remain silent.
As long as she was able to et Xavier again, Abigail would always be able to rest in peace....
"Besides, what happened just now, Abigail? Why are you hiding like that earlier?" Arielle asked worriedly.
Abigail’s body stiffened, her eyes darting fearfully at the mouth of the cave. It felt lighter and softer, but these past few days, Abigail had felt the wind blowing around her a little differently. She used to be a hunting expert. That was why she got the na Abigail The Hunt. She could read the direction of the wind and its speed. With these two things, Abigail could know that there was prey or enemies at a certain distance.
Lately, Abigail felt that sothing was stalking her. Last night, she was crying over Xavier’s death once again after Otis and Luffy left. Abigail burst into tears knowing that Arielle was the wife of the man who killed her mate. After Otis told her that Arielle was completely unrelated to the tragedy, Abigail felt very sorry for almost thinking of taking revenge on Arielle.
When Abigail was in her sorrow, the wind blew very hard while roaring heavily in the distance. The sound of the wind in front of the mouth of the cave shrank slightly, as if a foreign object had stopped there. When Abigail turned her head, the wind blew again very hard, which ant that the object in front of the mouth of the cave had gone as fast as lightning.
Abigail was really scared because there was no Xavier or any male to protect her. She was really stressed and hid as best she could, but she couldn’t transform into a dragon. If she turned into a dragon, Abigail would imdiately lay her eggs because the dragons could keep their eggs in their stomachs in the long term by turning into a human.
"I’m scared, Arielle... I felt like soone was stalking from outside the cave last night, but when I looked for it, I couldn’t find anyone out there. I’m alone here... I’m afraid that sothing will target my children...."
Arielle turned towards the mouth of the cave. She squinted her eyes to see the forest in front of her. Because Abigail’s cave was on a rocky hill, Arielle could see almost the entire top of the tree and found nothing suspicious.
"Have you told this to Maxieno or Lord Otis?" Arielle asked.
Abigail shook her head. "I’ve been feeling this for the past few days, but I’m afraid that it’s just my feelings. You know I’ve been very sensitive lately, but last night was terrible...."
Arielle could see Abigail’s body hair on her brown skin standing up, a sign that she was really scared.
"I’m afraid it’s just a hallucination of mine and ends up causing Xieno or Otis trouble."
"But, Maxieno is Xavier’s older brother. He should be— urghh!"
Arielle just rembered Abigail’s words about Maxieno’s very bad logic.
She planned to drag Maxieno and force the man to take care of Abigail, but Arielle also couldn’t leave Abigail alone in a precarious situation like this. She didn’t know if it was just Abigail’s hallucination, but at least if there was soone accompanying her, Abigail could feel more at ease.
"Lord Otis will only be returning for the next few days."
Arielle turned to Luffy who had been sitting quietly, listening to the emotional conversation between the two won in front of him. Luffy was still very young. Arielle couldn’t bear to tell him to co back alone.
What if Arielle just took Abigail with her? However, could Abigail be able to go through such a long journey? Should she ask Luffy for help again? Besides, it was already very late in the afternoon, and they would probably arrive at her hut in the morning. Arielle couldn’t endanger Abigail’s condition with her bad idea.
The last option for Arielle right now was to accompany Abigail here with Luffy.
"Abigail, I will stay here tonight," Arielle said, making Abigail and Luffy confused.
"Here?" asked the woman, while wiping the tears from her face.
"Yes, I will take care of you tonight, and tomorrow you will co with to live in the hut," Arielle replied firmly.
"But..."
Arielle put her hand on Abigail’s shoulders to give the woman a logical explanation. "Abigail I know that pregnant female dragons are very sensitive, but right now you need soone’s protection especially for your eggs later while you incubate them. Maxieno doesn’t want to take care of you, right? Just let do it! If you’re near , I can monitor you, and if sothing happens, I can ask Lord Otis for help quickly," Arielle replied.
Luffy nodded in agreent.
"I agree with Arielle. Maybe I can also ask my mother for help if you are near the settlent," Luffy added.
Abigail wanted to refuse, but her fear was much greater. She glanced at the mouth of the cave once more. The wind was blowing and her heart was beating very fast. She was still feeling uneasy.
"Arielle... stay with tonight. I’m scared," she said, and Arielle answered with a nod of her head.
