CHAPTER 117 - Feelings.

It took a while, but after Alex explained everything, from his promise to Reganath Nemeanor to Zahara's true feelings for Alex, everyone came to terms with this new revelation. Their shock, however, didn't lessen. 

There was no way that the shock would go away so easily since all they could remember about Alex and Zahara was them bickering with each other. It was true that they now knew the reason why Zahara behaved like that, but they couldn't just wipe away the old image they had.

Even now, most of them were silent, deep within their thoughts. 

The heavy oak table in the center of the room bore the weight of their contemplation, its polished surface reflecting the flickering flames from the nearby hearth. The faint murmur of music and laughter from the ballroom beyond the closed double doors served as a reminder of the festivities they were momentarily away from.
