Chapter 103: Inside the tower

"What…What is going on?!"

Briella exclaimed in shock at the sight before her. The loud explosion alarmed Ivran and her. They hurried to here at once. 

But the first thing they saw upon arrival was Althea standing with her spear pierced through the heart of the frail-looking girl they were supposed to be healing. It didn't help that Hestia stood between them, wrapped in vines and dried smears of blood over her clothes and face.

Ivran didn't say anything. He observed the surroundings in silence. As an old Knight, he had seen far more disturbing things. He left the ladies to recover from their shock. 

Briella's shrill voice pulled them out of their stunned state. Hestia retracted her vines and hugged Alice's lifeless body. Althea gave it a jerk, pulling it smoothly, careful not to harm the woman's body anymore.
