Rebirth Of The Duke's Daughter

Chapter 140

"Theo, you understand the next plan, right?" ZH hoped that Theo knew what to do in the Mireraweth Palace; it was likely that the mana hunters knew what Noah looked like. Noah would be unable to join along in the plan since they knew that he was with Mila's group and with his injuries still in place.

"I will do as you say," Theo said at once, getting up after getting dressed and ready to enter the Mireraweth palace.

"Theo?" ZH still needed to apologize for his impulsive actions.

"Hm?"

"I apologize for what I did back then. I was so upset that time about Mila that I had harmed you in my anger." ZH did not want his friendship with Theo to deteriorate from it along with making him feel guilty for the rest of his life.

"You do not need to apologize. I did not do my duty to protect Lady Mila. If I was in your situation, then I would have done the same."

ZH found that Theo was just one of those good friends that he happened to get lucky with. "Thanks," ZH said for the first time, shocking Theo to see such an honest answer from ZH who never said it before. Both smiled at one another, making sure not to get the atmosphere awkward between them.

ZH had to then focus back on the sorcerer if he was going to play any tricks with them. 'How am I going to handle him?' ZH [Ambrose] had to return soon to his other identity.

[You'll figure it out soon. Just not now.] Lucia said, sighing after know-how ZH was still in an unstable mindset, he had been restless since his whole focus had been on Mila for the past few days.

[I agree. It's best to rest and calm down.] Merry included knowing how her master needed the time to cool off.

[If you wish to send me then I can do the job.] Jero did not mind running a few duties and errands for ZH since he usually had nothing else to do anyway.

'No, it's fine. For now, we wait until the right moment.' ZH said to the three of them, he needed to plan things out and wait patiently.

Heading back to his room in the Graves's mansion, he leaned against the wall looking outside his bedroom window. He had his identity switched over to Ambrose.

"Hey, Ambrose? Are you alright in there?" It was Perry on the other side of his bedroom door, hoping that his little brother had been doing well. "I brought some simple sweets that Iris thinks you would like. Don't reject your sister-in-law's sweets." Perry went ahead allowing himself into Ambrose's [ZH's] room.

Ambrose saw the sweets left on his desk with Perry leaving him soon after to be with his wife. Ambrose couldn't help, but feel envious seeing Perry walk around with Iris in the garden. He felt sad that he couldn't be with Mila like how Perry and Iris were together waiting for their first child. 'Mila, I hope to see you soon.' He sighed looking at the sweets thinking that Mila would love to eat them, but he never found out where she was. The fellow who had sent the letter had disappeared soon after leaving him with no location or whereabouts of Mila. He would have asked him for Mila's location, ignoring her words to not find her. He could not even sense Mila anywhere which meant that they did not have mana in them at the moment. Not sensing her mana that time made him fear that she was already gone from this world.

Mila was sleeping then saw the same woman once more with honey blonde hair and ocean blue eyes. "You are really strong, but you need to be more cautious. Even with your barrier and mana used to cast it. You have to still be careful since a child cannot survive without its mother. You were lucky that the young lord saved you." Grace smiled, laying her hand onto Mila's forehead with a glowing light coming from her palm then to Mila.
