Chapter 70: Chapter 70
Chapter 69
The camp was already set up when we arrived in Jeufeng. The huge tents are already set up and the others are already training on one side.
Trevas started walking so we followed him over to the biggest tent. The other staff of Trevas turned to us and the others even nodded at us and Lina because most of them already knew us before returning to their respective occupations.
When we arrived at the tent Captain Jared and Lieutenant Min came up to us talking while someone was pointing there at the table between them, it looked like they were talking about the fight that could take place.
Trevas and I approached them and they stopped talking but I noticed that Lina and Captain Jared looked at each other for a few seconds before quickly looking away.
I gasped to myself and shook but I did not speak. I don’t know what’s going on between Lina and Captain Jared so I have no right to interfere even if I want them to get along.
"Long time no see" Lieutenant Min greeted before waving at us.
"It's only been a week since we left Beifang" I replied to him.
"It's been a long week, especially since I always have Captain Jared with me who never smiles at me" Lieutenant Min complained before taking Captain Jared on his shoulders but he immediately pushed him away and looked at him badly.
"This is not the time to joke around" Captain Jared said seriously before pointing to the messenger lying on the table with all the other papers that I couldn't understand. “I received a message from the spy I sent to Bauxacel and that was not good news
The room suddenly became serious when we heard what Captain Jared had said.
"I'm sure everyone in this room knows about Zeus, Psyche and miss Anna" Captain Jared's introduction before nodding in mama's direction. It looks like they actually talked about things before we held this meeting.
“South of Bauxacel is the rebel camp owned by the Laxxon and Haviour families of Bauxacel and there is a strong possibility that Psyche will use those rebels in the attack so Lieutenant Min and I talked about attacking that camp more early forPsyche will have no use if he plans to start a war against Beifang ”
"Wait a minute" I stopped what Captain Jared was saying so they looked at me at the same time. I felt a little intimidated by their looks, especially since those in front of me now were generals who had already experienced a bloody battle, but I also recovered immediately and started speaking. "Isn't Psyche just wanting to kill mama and Laramie so why would she want to start a war against Beifang?"
"It's not just me and Laramie she wants to kill, Alissa" Mom said so I turned to her. “Everything Zeus created he wanted to destroy and one of the creations of Zeus was humanity. He only puts Laramie first because until now he still doesn't accept that Zeus chose him instead of him and he puts me first because I am an Ice user ”
"What does being an Ice user have to do with it?" I asked him.
“Ice users are the antidote to light and darkness. Zeus created ice to strike a balance between light and darkness and the other elements. With the ability of an Ice user 'frozen heart' I can beat Psyche so he wants to take precedence over me and I won't be surprised if he even kills you first because you are also an ice user but the seal hasn't been completely removed from you so you have not used the powermo ”

If I was suddenly involved in what mom said. I just now realized how serious our situation is today. If Psyche ever succeeds in killing me and mama, nothing can stop him from destroying the world created by Zeus. He will be the most powerful of all and no one will be able to defeat him.
“I will unseal your magic later. For now, we need to discuss the plan to attack the rebel camp south of Bauxacel ”said mama before looking back at Captain Jared to continue speaking.
The meeting we held lasted five hours to discuss what to do about the attack on the rebel camp. There were arguments and misunderstandings but in the end it was decided that we would rush after two days so that the fighters led by Trevas could be better prepared.
I stretched out my hands and massaged my neck when the meeting was over. I stood and stood next to Trevas who was currently looking at the papers which summarized everything we had talked about before.
"Let's eat, I'm hungry" I whispered to him so he turned to me. He smiled at me before handing the papers to Lieutenant Min.
"Let's go" he said before standing up and holding my arm.
"Lina, let's go" I called to Lina who was still sitting in her chair and stunned at the table. He turned to me before I smiled softly.
I stopped walking so Trevas stopped too. I frowned when I saw Lina's smile as if she was nervous and just forced to smile but before I could talk about it she spoke first.
"You go first, I want to talk to Jare- Captain Jared about something" he said before looking at Captain Jared. It is true that when Captain Jared heard his name, he also looked at Lina.
"What is it?" He asked without emotion. Her eyes no longer have the old emotions I see every time she talks to Lina so I can't help feeling sad for the two of them.
“Can we talk… In private?” Lina asked him.
Captain Jared did not speak immediately and just looked at him but when he saw that Lina was really determined to talk to him he turned to us. "You go first"
With that, we went out first with mama and Lieutenant Min who was still busy with what he was reading.
"What do you think they're going to talk about?" I asked Trevas as we walked toward one of the tents assigned to us. As before, Trevas, Captain Jared and Lieutenant Min have his tent because they are the generals and most leaders of the camp while Lina and I will share a tent but now we are also with mama.
"They'll probably talk about what they really are" Mama said smiling before she sighed and looked at the sky. "Children, I got worse when we first met your dad"
I can't help but smile as mama tells the love story of her and papa that I've heard several times but I can't stop her from telling it especially since Trevas seems to be interested in the mala fairy tale story of their love between mama and papa. .
Papa first saw mama when he saved their province papa from the barbarians but he didn't see mama's face very clearly but he said he was love and first sight here so he traveled and left the province where he grew up to look for mama . When they met again in the kingdom of Beifang, papa didn't bother anymore and chased mama wherever he went. At first, mama didn't want to like a mortal because his life was short compared to hers, but when she got to know papa better, she didn't worry about what would happen in the future and just let herself fall into a mortal.
Mama sighed again before patting trevas on the shoulder. "It's just sad that Alen's life is even shorter than I expected"
I noticed sadness pass through mama's eyes before she smiled again and the slap on Trevas' shoulder got even harder causing him to push in my direction. “So you two, Take advantage of every hour. You’ll never know what will happen and if that will be the last time you will meet ”
I calmed down because of what mama said and I noticed that Trevas also stopped walking.
‘You’ll never know what will happen’
