"A war is coming?" Nigel exclaimed and asked, "Who has declared the war?"

"Mihir." Theodore sighed and added, "They have not declared the war yet, but we got to know their plans through someone."

"Who is that someone? Is the information genuine?" Nigel went into denial because Wyverndale had always been in a cold war with Mihir but both of the Kingdoms never attacked each other as it was not possible due to geographical barriers.

Theodore did not want to tell everything to Nigel right now and spoil the chance for Adeline to ask for Nigel's help in her own way. So he just summarized what he knew, "Yes, the information is genuine. Adeline said that she even came face to face with some of the people from Mihir. They might strike on Wyverndale within six months. So, Adeline is gathering allies."

The seriousness of the situation hit Nigel hard. He fisted over his mouth and let that information to settle down in his mind.

Hearing about a possible war when he was away from home was really hard for him. He wished that he was in Wyverndale right now, by his sister's side, but that was not possible at the moment.

Nigel nervously stroked his hair and then urged Theodore, "You should ask her to send a formal letter to King Conall immediately. As per the treaty between the two Kingdoms, Aberdeen is bound to help Wyverndale when in need. Of course, I will do whatever I can to help her but it is better if she-"

"Nigel, there is a reason why Adeline wants to talk to you first." Theodore stopped Nigel in the middle and said, "And I think you should hear it directly from Adeline."

Nigel's eyes lit up when he heard that last sentence. "Hear it directly from Adeline?" He looked around as if he would find Adeline in that room and stuttered, "She is n-not here in-in Aberdeen right now, is she?"

Theodore smiled at that sudden eagerness from Nigel. "No, she is not here. I came alone today. But I will bring her here tomorrow."

"Adeline told me to ask you to prepare a secret room for the meeting." He looked around at the room they were currently in and said, "I think this room will be fine."

Theodore snapped his fingers and spoke with a smile on his face, "Also, she wants to meet Rhea and the kids as well. So, you better arrange the meeting without anyone suspecting that you are up to something."

"Sure, I will make some excuse to the maids and the servants." Nigel abruptly looked into Theodore's eyes and blurted, "But I cannot escape from the training session with the King. So…"

"So, when will you be free for the meeting?" Theodore raised his brows and asked.

Nigel thought for a while and went over his schedule for tomorrow. And then he replied, "I will be free after the noon. The training will take place in the morning."

Theodore clapped his hands and nodded. "Okay, great. I will bring Adeline in the noon then."

"Sure. I look forward to meeting my sister." Nigel gave a huge smile and expressed his gratitude towards Theodore, "And thank you for looking after my sister in my absence. Thank you for helping her and staying by her side."

Theodore's expression turned gloomy all of a sudden. He scratched his brows and confessed, "Actually, I don't deserve the credit that you are giving me. I wasn't able to take care of your sister for the past two years."

"What… do you mean by that? The two of you did not fight, right?" Nigel furrowed his brows and glanced at Theodore with questioning eyes.

Nigel had not even asked Theodore to sit down. It completely went off of his head as the news about the war was taking a toll on him.

Theodore was ready to head back to Wyverndale but he felt that Nigel deserved an explanation. So he looked at the chairs on the other side of the room and said, "I think we should sit down for a while."

Nigel got a bad feeling by looking at Theodore's serious expression. He wanted to know what exactly had happened in the two years that he was away from home so he led Theodore towards the chairs.

They both settled down and Theodore started by saying, "Umm… you've met the Deity, right?"

"Yes." Nigel wrinkled his brows questioning why the Deity was relevant here.

And Theodore nonchalantly said, "Well, that brat is my elder brother."

Nigel glanced at Theodore in utter disbelief, "The Dragon Immortal is your brother? But he is the Deity and-"

"And I'm the Devil. I know!" Theodore predicted what he was going to say and completed his sentence.

"Err… I d-didn't mean to say it in a bad way," Nigel gave a polite smile to Theodore. And then he asked, "So, what happened?"

Theodore didn't want to badmouth his brother after the good deeds he had done for him and Adeline. But he had to. "And my brother did things that he shouldn't have… which led Adeline to completely forget about me. Not just Adeline, whole Wyverndale forgot about me."

"What?" Nigel was shocked to his core. "Whole Wyverndale forgot you? Is that even possible?"

"Of course it is possible. You all consider him as your Deity," Theodore chuckled at that double standards and asked, "So why are you so shocked to hear that? Can't he even do such a trivial thing as wiping out people's memories?"

"But he is the Deity. Why would he do such a nasty thing?" Nigel was still not able to believe what Theodore was saying.

So Theodore began from the very beginning and explained why Azriel thought that it was justifiable to take out his anger on Adeline. But he also made sure to share the good thing that Azriel did recently.

"So, father also approved to let the two of you to get married?" Nigel was already thrilled to hear the recent development in his sister's love life.

Theodore gave a wide grin and replied, "He hasn't said anything about the marriage yet but I think that he already likes me. So let's hope for the best."

Nigel couldn't help but hug Theodore again. "I'm rooting for you both. Let's hope our father won't change his mind."

Theodore then glared at Nigel and reminded him of the promise they made in the past with all seriousness, "You still remember our little agreement, right? You will help to wash my feet on my wedding day."

Nigel burst into laughter followed by Theodore. And he spoke while chuckling, "Yes, how can I forget that? Don't worry. I will keep my word."

Theodore then readied himself to return back to Wyverndale. And before he left, he asked Nigel to pass a message, "Puppy, tell your wife that I am really grateful towards her. Her letter to Adeline basically saved my relationship."

Nigel also stood up from his chair and asked, "Why don't you tell her yourself? Don't you want to meet her? And my kids?"

"I will meet them tomorrow." Theodore smirked and added, "I don't want to see the junior puppies before Adeline. I know she will envy me."

Nigel chuckled and nodded. "Sure.. See you tomorrow then."
