Chapter 16

They sat together for a while before one by one left the meeting room to hand in the work they had done. Golden Guard watched them do it, but remained seated for his part.

Soon only he and the Plant Coven leader were sitting in the room. Her gaze wandered to the boy and she smiled gently. When he noticed that she was looking at him, he looked at her in surprise, since he had expected that she would leave too.

"If you want we can talk.", She said suddenly and obviously showed concern for the boy. But the latter shook his head in silence, to Golden Guard's surprise, however, she did not get up and left afterwards, but stayed where she was. This made him think to talk to her about it ...

After a few minutes he finally sighed audibly, and the Plant Coven leader's attention was immediately on him again. "Well ... there is something ..."

She nodded, listening, and watched him carefully. "I don't know ... I guess I shouldn't put it that way ... but I had help ... on my mission at the knee and during my crash in Latissa." The older woman seemed surprised for a moment, but then shrugged. "But that's a good thing.", She smiled happily, but Golden Guard shook his head in horror. "No if my U-" he stopped and started all over again. "I can't imagine how Emperor Belos would react to that ..." he muttered softly, trying to cover up his previous choice of words.

"Wouldn't he like these people?" The boy shook his head. "Well ... I didn't treat either of them well, so it doesn't matter anymore anyway." "Then apologize to them." Golden Guard looked surprised ... hadn't she listened to him?

She giggled softly, which put an even more questioning look on his face. Her gaze met his friendly. "Don't worry ... even if they are the enemy to Belos. If it means something to you, apologize to them. Because this is your life and not his." She winked and the boy in front of her couldn't explain what was happening to him. He was speechless and yet the words of the Plant Coven leader had moved something in him. She was right ... but ... should he really ...? Belos would be angry if he found out ... and then nothing would stand in the way of his own replacement ...

"You can trust me with something like that in any case. What you want to tell is safe with me. ", She suddenly smiled and exuded such calm that Hunter was admiring her right now. She seemed so composed, said so wise words without disturbing him ... that although she had just advised him not to listen to Belos all the time ... and he himself knew too well how the Emperor would acted in such a situation ... but the fact that she was so open and friendly anyway made him trust her ....

Right now he was generally feeling good with the Coven leaders ... It made him forget about his other duties ... It made him forget for a few moments that his uncle wanted to replace him and that Kikimora would now often try to wipe him out ...

Yes, right ... he had to keep an eye on Kikimora ... He should also approach this calmly and not rush anything ..... but....who knows what kiki was after right now....
