Mahnu, An Immortal's Journey

Chapter 29

After the fourth day of returning to Conrella, they both set off for Harval, leaving Betty and Donald behind.

The King was a little sad that Mahnu didn't mind as much, like she still wasn't used to having them by her side. She seemed to accept things rather too easily still, whether it would upset her or not.

But he was already taking a large group of people with him as it was!

Rick had stayed in Conrella these four days to venture back with them and then there were guards and a few servants to help them with eating and whatnot. On top of that, the King had a few extra people, to help bring back his Queen and children that were still in Harval.

Choosing to travel by carriage, the King nestled into Mahnu's hair and whispered, "You'll get to meet the Princess again."

Mahnu entwined her fingers with his and murmured back, "Are you trying to send a hidden message to me?"

The King chuckled, thinking it was better to lie, "No! But you will like her. You did before."

"Richard..."

King Richard sat back to look at her. "Yes?"

She smiled but didn't say anything. For some reason, she always liked that he gave her his full attention...

"What?" He said curiously, yet at the same time taken by her beautiful smile.

He had rarely seen her smile and for her to do it so easily...It was hard to get used to, but he was fully prepared for it!

Having his woman smile more, seemed like a new priority of his now!

Mahnu laughed, "Nothing! Absolutely nothing! Oh...I met someone yesterday. They had the strangest look on them and that's why I stopped and talked to them. They said that there's a strange rumor going around."

"Mmm." King Richard murmured, nestling himself into her hair once again. "And?"

"Well, they said there's an old tablet that's been seen."

The King moved back away from her again, looking into space for a moment.

"Stop the carriage...Marcus!" The King's yell startled Mahnu and he squeezed her hand, before turning to the window where Marcus was.

"What was the last news of the tablet?"

Marcus was silent, they had been searching for it with a third of the Loyal Royal Knight Army all this time. "...It is still not found, Your Majesty."

"Mahnu just heard a rumor regarding the tablet...Mahnu tell us again what you heard."

Mahnu told them everything, even the part how she had somehow saw the tablet being passed to what she knew as the Governor Sedric. How could she possibly know who that is, when she had never met him before?

What she was more worried about though, was how she had seen it in her head. And not only that, but the place where the tablet had been passed to another...Was not where she was in Conrella...

It was precisely this reason that she had left to go back to the residence the day before, in which William thought instead that it was because she was feeling strange about being followed.

When she told them what she had seen in her head, they both just stared at her.

"I know it sounds ludicrous, but I think that person has the tablet. And the one that I spoke to...Was there himself, I think, I saw it from his memories...Tell me, there's something wrong with me."

Marcus looked at the King and the King swore under his breath.

He did worry about what Mahnu was going through, but at this moment, with what they heard, it was very important to get this tablet!
