Chapter 47

• The final day of training for Elena finally arrived. She had spent the day practicing with Calhoun, Elion, and the old man. She eventually defeated Elion, and Calhoun smiled at her, pride illuminating his features. When they were done with practice, the old man suggested that they celebrate in Elena's restaurant. They all agreed and started to make preparations. Before Calhoun departed, he left Elena with a parting kiss, causing her to lose focus and her mind to scatter in scrambles. She was dazed, and he left smirking, proud, and satisfaction etched on his face.
• Elena walked back to her room and sat down in her bed. She had a lot of thinking to do. Tomorrow, she and Forest, along with his sister, would depart for the kingdom of Neba. She didn't know what way her relationship with Calhoun was headed. Whenever they tried to talk about it, something always stopped them.
• Another thing she had to think about was what Firoza told her. Although she didn't let it disturb her, she was sure that Calhoun would never cheat on her. But even then, she didn't want their relationship to be one bound on secrets. A relationship with secrets as the foundation was bound to collapse. She decided that she would talk to Calhoun that day. She would make him confess all he had been hiding.
