Tangled By Fate

Chapter 512  SEBASTIAN'S SITUATION

He fought until he was left with a drop of energy. But he was losing too much blood. Even in that heat, his body was turning cold quicker than he expected.

In the end, his weak body dropped to the ground and his tired eyes were staring at the witches who took away Veronica.

'I'm really pathetic' he thought. 'I cannot save anyone I want to protect.'

Catherine's smiling face came into his view. Afterward, he slowly closed his eyes.

After Darius found him, he carried Sebastian to the nearest camp and put him in bed.

Felix called Merlin. Merlin dropped all his work and went to check up on Sebastian. He carefully inspected the patient and sighed in relief.

"He is alive but he's very weak," he commented. "Darius, dress his wounds."

"On it!" Darius brought some clean clothes to dress Sebastian's wounds.

Merlin used magic to heal his deep wounds.

"I wish Veronica was here. She would have healed him instantly," Darius lamented.

"I may not be as good as Lady Veronica but I'm not a bad healer either," Merlin stated.

Unlike Veronica, it took him hours to make Sebastian's condition stable. When Sebastian was out of danger, he straightened his back and then wiped his sweat.

"We need to go to the tower," Merlin instructed. "All the injured people would heal faster there. Those who have sunburned skin, they will only get better there."

"You go first. I'll come last," Darius said.

"Just don't go after Arthur and Veronica," Merlin requested.

Felix gathered all the wizards and made small groups. The heavily injured wizards got the most priority and then small wounded ones had another group, afterward, sunburned wizards and later healthy wizards.

Merlin and other wizards created a huge magic circle and took each group one by one.

By the time they reached the tower, it was already evening.

Ovior was at work. He sensed a strong presence of magic and teleported downstairs. In front of the entrance, he found all the wizards.

He was surprised to see them back so soon.

Although he sent Veronica to the battlefield since she insisted to cease the war, he didn't expect Arthur to do that just because she asked for it.

He knew how important the war was to take down all the witches. Arthur promised to eliminate them once and for all.

'Did that guy do something stupid again?' he wondered.

He squinted his eyes. "You're back. Is everything all right?"

"We are alive. What happened to you? You look worse than I do," Felix commented.

Ovior paused. He was obviously on the verge of fainting from overwork and also the guilt was killing him. Being under the same roof as Catherine's dead body could only make his guilt worse.

He kept remembering Catherine who worked so hard every day. Thanks to her assistance, his work became a lot easier.

He didn't answer Felix. In the end, he replied, "I'll be needing two assistants. Since you are in good shape, you can join me with Merlin."

"Even though the war is over, we still have a lot to do," Merlin replied.

"All right, but why do I only see the two of you? Where are the rest? Don't tell me they are dead," Ovior said.

Darius is bringing back the captives," Felix reported. "Zinnia and Ironin went after the witches who escaped. As for Arthur and Veronica…" he paused and looked around.

There were too many people around them. He didn't want to utter Veronica becoming a dragon in front of them.

When Ovior noticed that Felix was hesitating to tell him about Arthur and Veronica's whereabouts in front of others, he said, "Let's go to my office."

After they went to his office, Felix told him everything and Ovior's jaw dropped.

"Wait…" he rubbed his forehead, feeling an extreme headache. "Veronica, a human, turned into a dragon because she sensed danger while sleeping… is this what you are telling me?"

"You heard me correctly," Felix replied. "For now, Arthur went after her. I hope everything goes well."

"Everything should go well. I'm glad Darius didn't go after her. He always wanted to kill a dragon."

Ovior let out a deep sigh.

He was getting ill news one after another without any break. Ever since Veronica was poisoned, he couldn't sleep properly. Things were just getting worse for him.

Noticing his situation, Felix suggested, "Why don't you go and take some rest? We will make a report ad leave it in your office. You can check it once you feel better."

"If you take care of the rest, I can do that."

Ovior yawned. Afterward, he teleported to his room.

Felix left Ovior's office. At the end of the corridor, there was a huge ancient window. He looked outside the window.

The autumn night was tranquil. The leaves rustled gently in the breeze, creating a soothing melody that echoed through the air. The moon shone brightly, casting a soft glow over the landscape. The stars twinkled like diamonds in the sky, adding to the enchanting atmosphere. The crisp air was refreshing,

The beautiful night couldn't pacify his worried mind.

'I just hope Arthur and Veronica are okay,' he inwardly spoke to himself.

That night, Sebastian opened his eyes. He found himself in his room. He recalled his memory before he lost consciousness. Stunned, he rubbed his eyes, not believing his eyes.

"Rise and shine! Did you sleep well?" Felix asked with a smile. He was waiting here for him to wake up.

"I'm home… How??" Sebastian was bewildered.

He was sure that he was dead when he closed his eyes. He fought with so many witches even though he was outnumbered. He fought bravely but, in the end, he was lost.

He couldn't protect his Mistress until the end.

He clenched his fist in regret. Feeling guilty, he lowered his gaze. Even so, he couldn't control his curiosity.

He couldn't understand how he was alive and well and he was home as well.

"…A lot of things happened… Where should I start?" Felix asked.
