Chapter 173: The Family Arrives at the Black Gem Palace

She just smiled and leaned to the side. "Was this part of your plan?"

"No, my lady. I didn't know who these people were." He pulled out a small bottle from his coat and wiped its contents on the surface of his chest wound. Yllana went silent. "Your companion might be having a hard time finding us since he was not even aware that we were taken away by force."

"He will find me soon enough," she answered. There was a reassuring tone in her voice.
