Love At The Wrong Table

Love at the 1878

The Tomas Amore

As the situation unraveled, fear spread through the crowd. As Emmanuel was

about to inquire about Mackenzie, a voice called out from the shore, leaving

him momentarily unsure of his next move, “Everyone, stay calm! The

commander won’t leave anyone behind! Trust in him!”

“Mackenzie!” Relief washed over Emmanuel as he saw Bella and the others

had safely escorted Mackenzie to the dock. Without hesitation, he dropped

Quintus and sprinted towards her.

“Seriously? Choosing a pretty face over your buddies?” Quintus grumbled, but

when he tried to follow, Sunny held him back. “Let them have their moment.”

“Emmanuel!” Mackenzie’s eyes brightened as she rushed toward him, her

heart pounding. They gripped each other’s hands tightly, both overwhelmed.

If it weren’t for the crowd, I’d kiss her right now. “Are you okay?” he asked,

concerned.

“I’m fine,” she reassured him, pointing to where Claudette stood under

The Tones Affiance

Aurora’s watchful eye.

Emmanuel nodded in acknowledgment.

Meanwhile, the northern forces returned–victorious but battered. Out of over

3,000, fewer than 300 remained. With their numbers so reduced, concerns

about overcrowding on the cruise ship disapp ired.

“Xarri, thanks for your help!” Emmanuel said gratefully.

“No, we should be thanking you. I knew you were destined to be the king of

Dark Night Island, Xarri replied respectfully.

Emmanuel wasted no time on pleasantries. All commanders, board the ship

East, South, West, North, and Center! Keep it orderly! We’re short on time,

and anyone who disobeys will face military consequences!”

His firm tone got the 2,000–plus people at the dock to line up swiftly. Belongs to NôvelDrama.Org - All rights reserved.

The Tenous Alfiance

Just then, more figures appeared at the end of the road–Yasmine and

Agargar, bringing the barely conscious Blake to the dock.

“It’s Ms. Morgan from the Airspace group!”

“Take them down!” Hatred filled the alliance members as they recognized

Yasmine, who had escaped capture before. Now, she was walking right into

their hands.

Emmanuel signaled them to hold back. If Yasmine and Agargar are going to

die, I’ll handle it myself, I mean. I don’t need a crowd, especially with the

possibility of a trap.

After all, Yasmine was known for her tricks.

“What are you doing here?” he asked bluntly.

“I’m here to take Blake back with me. He doesn’t belong here,” she said,

glancing at Agargar, who helped the injured Blake off the horse.

“In the central region, he was seriously hurt while covering Her Holiness‘ move

to the fifth level. I saved him in an emergency room,” she explained, adding,

“There are medical supplies on the ship. If you don’t want him to die, he’ll

make it through the trip back.”

Mackenzie quickly chimed in, “Emmanuel, we need to bring Blake with us. I

can’t explain it to Hattie if we leave him behind. He’s done so much to help

  1. us.

Emmanuel nodded, deciding to save Blake. He asked Yasmine, “Are you

staying with the Airspace Group?

She nodded as her demeanor changed after the battle. Her sister was gone,

Jax was nearly lost, and decades of the Airspace group’s work had been

destroyed. Even a hardened heart would ache after all that.

Aren’t you afraid I’ll kill you?” he asked.

Yasmine didn’t respond. By bringing Blake here, she’d accepted the

possibility of dying at the hands of the alliance. Agargar had tried to dissuade

her, but she was resolute.

For saving Blake, I’ll spare your life,” Emmanuel decided. It’s only fair to let her

live after she’s come to save Blake. He warned, “The Airspace group Is my

enemy. The next time we meet, I won’t hesitate to kill you.”

She said nothing and turned to leave with Agargar.

“Wait!” Emmanuel suddenly realized Harvey wasn’t at the dock and called

out, “Did you see Harvey?”
