Chapter 466

Sometimes, robots had the upper hand over humans. If they broke down, you could just replace the parts. But when a person got hurt, the consequences could be much worse.

Maeve thought about Gilbert's condition, and her face drained of color. She stood up quickly and said to Byron, "The royal family's special route will get us there in five hours. I'll tell Uncle The plane tickets Loren had sent were for the royal family's private jet.

Byron glanced up from his phone. His dark eyes were intense. "No need. I've got it covered. You stay here. I'll head back first."

Maeve understood right away. Byron could leave right away, but she couldn't just drop everything and leave. She'd need to explain to Trazir, and her uncle, her mother, and Loren would be worried. But she knew she wouldn't be staying here for long. If anything happened to Gilbert, this could be the last time she saw him

The thought made Maeve's throat tighten. She couldn't bring herself to think of anything worse.

It was already unbearable, and she could only imagine the pain Byron, who had always respected Gilbert, must be feeling right now.

"Take Will and Theo back first. I'll handle things here. You and Uncle have got people you trust around me. I'll be fine," Maeve said, her voice firm.

"I'll sort everything out here and join you as soon as I can. I won't make you wait too long."

Byron's expression softened, the tension in his chest easing slightly as he met her serious gaze. He nodded. "Alright."

After he left to get ready, Maeve realized she had been more nervous than she thought, mainly because she'd convinced herself she might end up staying in Erancia forever. That was why she asked her children to be with her.

Now, Maeve couldn't help but laugh at herself. She had her life in Setigal-her career, her home, everything. Even if she had family here, she wouldn't give up everything she'd built just for this.

And yet, Byron hadn't tried to force her into staying or ask her to return with him. Instead, he keeping Will and Theo close by her side.

This kind gesture made Maeve feel truly cherished by Byron.
