Chapter 0368 Nina Somehow, I managed to daze all of the guards at once.

But Enzo and I didn't have tto stand around and try to figure out how I did it. There was no knowing exactly how long this spell of mine would last, and for all we knew Selena had already been alerted to our location. We seemed to have an unspoken agreement to run as fast as we could, and that was exactly what we did. We ran across the large lawn that led up to the mansion, weaving through the stupefied guards, and bolted up the steps to another door that was slightly off to the side. We could reuse the sentrance we had used before, but we also couldn't simply walk in through the front doors, Instead, we used a small wooden door that was tucked into the corner of the mansion; and, much to my surprise, it opened to a set of stairs that were going down. With one last apprehensive look at each other, Enzo and I shut the door behind us and began our descent.

The stairs led to ssort of old root cellar. The floors and walls were all made of cobblestone, and when I flicked on my phone's flashlight, I noticed that there were rows of shelves containing all sorts of weapons.

This wasn't a cellar, it was an armory.

And it was a packed one, at that.

Enzo walked over to a shelf that contained a large amount of swords and picked one up, inspecting it in the light of my flashlight.

"Damn," he said quietly, turning the blade this way and that. "It looks razor sharp." I swallowed nervously. "Put it back," I said. "We need to move." Enzo nodded and slowly put the sword back on the rack. I never explained to him the premonition that I saw in the portal about my life being intertwined with Selena's, but I had a feeling that he knew something about it. But now wasn't the tto talk about it.

I had to push away the thought that we might not ever get to talk again after tonight. If I was going to die, then I didn't want Enzo stopping me. Selena had to be stopped for the sake of both realms, and if Enzo knew that I was potentially marching to my death, then he would let the world burn instead of lettingdo it.

All I could do to keep myself going was hope that what the old man said was right; that no one needed to die. But, of course, those were just the ramblings of an old man.

Enzo and I quietly made our way through the armory, which branched off into several tunnels. The longer we walked, in fact, the more I realized that there must have been an entire tunnel system under the mansion.

"Hey," I said, peering into one of the dark tunnels. It went so far that I couldn't even see where it tumed. "Do these go under the entire mansion?"

Enzo shrugged. "Probably," he replied. "It would only make sense, the first royal family that built this mansion probably had all sorts of escape routes. It's probably how your father and Selena escaped when the Crescents tried to assassinate you."

"Just thinking about it makessick," I said with a shudder. I wondered what had happened that night; how did it cto be that the didit Crescents only managed to stealand kill my mother? Was it just pure luck that my father got Selena out? sah th (F)indNvI. et website on Gøøgle to access chapters of early and in the highest quality. "It's alright," Enzo replied gently, squeezing my hand. "You don't have to worry about that now. There are bigger things to think about tonight." However, Enzo's words didn't makefeel any better. In fact, they only madefeel worse.

I couldn't hide it anymore. A thick, choked sob caught in my throat and echoed through the damp funnels. I clamped my hand over my mouth, but there was no stopping it at this point. The tears were already flowing. Enzo stopped and pulledclose, huggingtightly while I cried. His chest muffled my uncontrollable sobs, but it wasn't enough to silencecompletely.

"Hey, hey," Enzo whispered, pulling away just enough to bend down to my level and holdby both shoulders. "Shh. Talk to me." X
