The Sorcerer's Bride Chapter 83

Kaldrek was sitting across from Jayesh as they were trying to figure out what to do about the Grimshades assassins . The two had been trying for the past three days to figure something out but they were not getting anywhere .

The problem was multiple . One, they did not have all that much information . Add to that the fact that Nix'Ryl was a huge area of unexplored land filled with all sorts of dangers making it impossible to scour every inch looking for a group that probably knew very well how to hide themselves .

It was honestly annoying . The fact that the only thing they could do was go on the defensive did not set well with Jayesh . It did not sit well with Kaldrek either .

AdvertisementSending men in would be practically suicide for them . The fact of the matter was they did not know enough about the lands of Nix'Ryl to make good judgments about this whole matter . Nix'Ryl was the most dangerous place in the world, from what little they knew of it . They tried not to send anyone there unless they absolutely had to .

There were, obviously, people who lived there, whose only purpose was survival . And that was what made the place truly scary . Not the monsters but the people who lived there, who were said to be willing to sell out their own mother if it meant them living one more day .

Kaldrek sighed, they really did have no idea how to fully deal with this matter . If they at least had a clear idea where to find them it would be one thing, it was just that prolonged trips into the wild lands was a good way to die . It was not something they could just risk sending people to do .

Jayesh shook his head, with a grimace . "I guess, that the best we can do is try to keep them out, or lure them into a trap . "

"Would appear so," Kaldrek frowned, "As much as I hate to admit it, there is really not much we can do with the little amount we know . "

"I hate not doing anything, so if you can come up with a good trap, please do . "

"Of course, I'll do my best to come up with something . " Kaldrek tapped his finger against the chair he was sitting in . A few ideas came to mind, but he needed to consider them more closely . Sometimes, ideas would initially sound good but be really terrible if you tried to do them .

"Meanwhile, we will make sure that the castle is safe," Jayesh had a thoughtful look on his face, "Thankfully, it does not seem like they are after the lives of my people . "

Kaldrek gave his best friend a wry smile as he reflected that Jayesh was a pretty good king, who cared about his people deeply . He was actually well beloved, and even more so because he had chosen a queen who everyone loved as well . The very fact that the news of Fayre's pregnancy caused great joy to the whole kingdom attested to this .

"I can also try to teach Zylv some magic that could help protect your wife, it may take a while though . " Zylvia had been coming along with her magical abilities . She was frighteningly good at enchantment, though she had yet to really branch out . He paused before admitting, "I would feel better if she could protect herself as well . "

Jayesh laughed, "That is not a bad idea . Actually its a pretty good one . "

Kaldrek nodded, not mentioning just how excited the thought made him . He rather enjoyed teaching his wife how to control her abilities, teaching her specific magic would be even more enjoyable . And she had a good enough grasp now to begin the expansion of abilities .

Sorcerers did not take long to learn how to use magic as it was pretty much ingrained in them . Especially if they had someone to guide them, which Kaldrek acknowledged he was probably pretty good at, if just due to the passion he had for anything and everything magical .

"Alright, then, think about that whole trap thing, but for right now, let's go see our ladies . " Jayesh's eyes softened just thinking about the woman he had made queen .

A slight smile came to Kaldrek's lips . He did not tease his friend though, as he honestly felt much the same about seeing his red-haired lady . Being with her was a dream come true, and he had felt better ever since they had given in to their feelings . She was, in some ways, his everything . Not that it would outright kill him not to have her, but if he lost her now he was aware that he would most likely have severe depression over it .
