Chapter 171 A Knowing

• In the days leading up to our journey to Ulul, Paul and I endeavoured to maintain an air of cheerfulness between us. However, the unspoken presence of an underlying issue lingered persistently.
• In customary fashion, my packing was minimal, and Uncle Frederick was duly informed of my imminent travel to Ulul for Silmiya's baby shower. This notification allowed Paul to bring along a gift for Kimaal.
• The sixteen-hour journey unfolded at a leisurely pace, marked by my inability to either sleep or find adequate distraction. Reaching our destination, Kimaal had thoughtfully arranged for his guards to accompany us from the airstrip to the guest house.
