Chapter 14

Louella

I laid my head on my desk. I was bored out of my mind and craving raspberries for some reason. Ezal was too good at her job. By the time issues reached me, they had mostly been taken care of. I couldn’t even find anything to add to most of them. It had been over four days since I had tried to speak to Alara. The valley had shaken a few more times since then, but sadly, most of the citizens were used to such occurrences. Another day in life around the most insane dungeon core on the planet.

“Is that any way for the queen of Vaihdetta to be acting?” I groaned at Regan’s voice. Of course he would appear as if nothing happened.

I sat up and did a double-take. There was a human man in front of me that I had never seen before. I grabbed my staff and leveled it at him in less than a second flat. “Who are you?” I demanded, eyeing him carefully. An assassin? How’d he get past all the various security that even I didn’t quite understand?

“You’re hurting my feelings. I thought we were friends.” Regan’s voice came from the man. I narrowed my eyes since it could easily be a trick. He sighed and dropped his head. “You win, my love.”

I tilted my head in confusion. There was a warp in space before Alara stepped out next to him. She locked arms with the man. “See. I told you. It’s hard.”

“Regan?” I asked, still not able to believe it. I recalled a time when I’d seen an elderly man as a version of him. I could almost make out the resemblance. There were also some similarities to the Regans from Hellia who were human, if you made them about ten times more handsome. I sighed and slowly dropped back into my seat. “Seriously. Normally, this sort of thing would be fine, but I would like you to remember that I am pregnant.”

“Bah. You’ve been pregnant for over a year now. You can’t play that card forever,” Regan said as he and Alara took a seat across from me.

I tapped my finger loudly and as angrily as I could on the table. “And who’s fault is that?!”

Surprisingly, Regan dropped his head and looked truly apologetic. “Again, I am sorry for that. And I thank you for coming to save me. If I am being honest, without your presence, we would likely still be trapped in Hellia.”

I wanted to stay mad but found it hard. Groaning, I let out a long gush of air. “Fine. So? What happened this time?”

Alara put her head in her hands while Regan leaned back with a large grin. “I became a god.”

“Yes. Yes. You’re a god. You’ve been playing that card for a long time as well.” I continued tapping my finger on the desk, waiting for the real answer. Regan hadn’t been this playful in a long time. It was a good change of pace from how serious he always felt lately.
