Chapter Forty-four

Nicklaus's Pov

After Israel vanishes into midair I felt nothing but resentment, betrayal, and most importantly regret. She's the prophecy for God's sake, and instead of defending her kingdom as queen well soon-to-be queen she disappeared.

She didn't just betray me but her kingdom, its people, and my father. We fought for her protection good men perished in battle while defending her honor, and what she did was just fled like the coward she is.

But even though I was so angry at her, I still wonder is she safe? I wish I was a bit nicer to her and had accepted her. Maybe she wouldn't have run if I was a better husband, but it's a little too late now.

Bella has been nothing less than supportive in my dark days, with helping running the kingdom, she's been there for me throughout it all I don't know how I could ever repay her kindness.
