Knight (51 page)

This man was frustrating!

Seeing as the atmosphere was awkward, Genevieve decided to lighten it up by exclaiming, “I'm so excited!”

Valeriana couldn't help but smile and feel excited as well. The idea of going out with the Twelve in an adventure was thrilling.

“Hey!” She turned to glare at Aeron. “Don't even think that I—”

“I know.” The older man nodded. “I understand how you feel. But now is not the time. There's a reason why your father did not tell you.”

“My father—”

Lord Aeron grimaced. Well, he slipped.

“Don't ask me.” He grunted. “This time, I can honestly tell you that I have no idea. However, I am confident you can find those answers yourself—in the right time, in the right place, at the right moment. If fate wills it to.”

Lord Aeron was right, though he did not make sense.

“Then, to Larkovia we go!” Genevieve enthusiastically cheered, pulling Valeriana with her.

The girl continued to get dragged along. She watched the Court Leader over her shoulder until the doors closed and cut off her line of sight.

And until then, the words kept haunting her.

“There's a reason why your father did not tell you.

FOREWORD

Thank you for buying a copy of Knight! I really appreciate having you guys support my work! I know some of you may or may not have liked the changes this revised version has, but there’s a reason for all of that. Anyhow, as you all know, Orison is currently ongoing and two more books follow—Warsong, and the finale, Chevalier. I will soon be publishing Legend after I finish editing it. This book was originally 176,000 but I managed to trim it to 137,000 after omitting different
unneeded scenes
. A total of what? 39,000 words!

These scenes will be available on my Wattpad account. The version of Knight there is the old one, so you can look back on the changes I’ve made so far and the edits done. I won’t be taking it down permanently, but, like how it is with KDP Select terms, I have to make it exclusively available for them only.

Sad as I am, this is a step closer to my publishing dreams! As of now, I’m still looking for a publisher who can distribute my books to more accessible places for you guys. So please bear with me for a while!

Once again, thank you for the support and I hope you’ve enjoyed reading! Good day to you all!
