Heigl kept looking at Yogev's eyes to see any shreds of sarcasm that might push him to stop saying anything to him, but what surprised him the most was the fact that Yogev was looking at him seriously while waiting for him to talk.
Yogev was not waiting for his mouth to open so that he would tell jokes about his anti-leveler father.
That was something that people of district 2 did whenever they spoke to his father, he joked with them and tried to change the subject every time they brought it when it was still a new gossip in the district but after that, he just cut himself out of all the gathering so that he wouldn't hear any bad words about the person he looks up to.
His father was not even bothered when he got treated several times worse, the way he talked was very annoying to Heigl and his mother, they were suffering because of him and still, he didn't change a word about what he first said .
Dakkar Lumas was talking as if he witnessed things but somehow even the seventh king didn't do anything about him .
The seventh king let him speak his heart out to people without interrupting him and that was one of the points that made people convinced of his craziness .
Several people in his district already made some complaints to the king, and the response was that Dakkar Lumas is not sane and should be ignored.
People continued to live their lives like usual, eat , hunt, make love, gossip, and fight, and they never looked at him in the same way .
" What are these things that you want to use, Heigl ? '' Yogev asked Heigl when he saw his anticipation for his reaction . Nᴇw ɴovel chaptᴇrs are published on NoveIꜰire.net
He tried to keep calm to the maximum because from their last conversation on this topic he realized that Heigl was looking at his father as the most sensitive topic and his life and he didn't want him to shut off when he finally decided to talk about something related to him
" There were journals" Heigl said slowly while still looking at Yogev's eyes
" Your father's journals ? "
" Can I read them, I am really curious about his ideas, after all, that happened to us after the evacuation "
Heigl backed off a few steps and then said to Heigl firmly:" No, you can't "
Yogev tried his best not to be offended by his answers so he said :" Did you find anything helpful ? "
Heigl started to walk around, he was still hesitant about sharing the information he knew with Yogev so he took a long time to just answer him.
" I think I know how to level up "
" I already knew this, I mean , why would bring us here if you were not sure about how to level up, also, why would tell Isiah Duncan about this if you were not aware of the whole process" Yogev tried to be very calm while discussing with him because he didn't want him to act very weird .
" Yeah …yeah " Heigl said while nodding his head .
Ciel was still looking at both of them in silence while waiting for Lexie to come back .
" You can tell me, " Yogev said with a quiet tone .
" I am not asking you to believe any word that my father said, those were just lies, I don't believe them so I don't want anyone to believe them, he was not even sharing the most controversial things with people because they were just crazy, but ..I found something in his journals that I think could help us "
Yogev this time didn't say anything, he felt like each time he was talking he was making him change his mind about sharing the information so he stayed quiet this time until Heigl said:" When I left you building the tower around the castle, I left to visit district two, just wanted to find a lead, when I got there I found the place in a terrifying state, everything looked why awful from when we left it.
I stood there right in front of the wreck of my house, I stayed there for almost a day, I couldn't just try to search there, I was terrified to see my parents' bodies there, I know it has been a long time, probably there was just a woods there but still I didn't want to search"
Heigl stopped talking for a few seconds, Yogev put his palm on his shoulder because just picturing what was under that wreck was going to terrify anyone, especially when they were his parents underneath all of that .
Heigl continued talking this time with a lot of emotions written all over his face :" One time my father showed where he put his important things when we were hunting, it happened after his crazy episode so I was not even curious about anything, if he showed it to me when I was a kid I would be so curious and even sneak behind him just to see what was there but seeing how much troubles he brought is after spreading those lies I just hated even getting closer to that place "
" I remembered the place the moment I stood in front of my house, I can't describe the feeling but I think something pushed me to go there even when I was still hesitant about it "
"I see, that must be very hard on you "
" I found a lot of things there and I brought all of them here, actually , i found the spell to break the ceiling in this place in one of his journals, I didn't know that before"
Heigl didn't notice that he was getting at ease the more he spoke to Yogev, he was not hesitant anymore and that made Yogev very happy because he was finally capable of making him speak of what was in his mind .
"He knew about such a spell ? " Yogev asked .
" When the spell worked, I ..I felt like I wanted to die at that moment"
" How come a low-ranked mage like my father knew about such a spell ? I …felt ..like …I was crushed under a mountain, you don't understand Yogev, I don't deserve to call him father "
