Chapter 226: Reward

In the middle of the night, Ara woke up startled. She could sense a strange air surrounding the compound. She quickly sat up on the bed and glanced to her side, but found it empty. Hamon wasn't back yet...

She'd unknowingly fell asleep waiting for him to return, but now, seeing as his side of the bed looked smooth, it only meant he hadn't return. Suddenly, she heard faint noises outside, and glanced around warily as her instinct seemed to sense danger.

Ara hurriedly pushed herself out of bed and made to the window to look outside. Her eyebrows furrowed as she noticed countless torches in the distance moving in perfect unison. It was a scene that reminded her of when the Boxton mansion was under attack in her previous life.

Without wasting another second, Ara hastily wore her night robe and left the room to go and search for Hamon. She made straight to his study knowing full well he'd be there, or more likely at the front of command.
