Chapter 66: The Maze of No Return (pt.3)

The fire did not spread randomly. 

"We have been moving in circles… I think we chose the wrong path after all."

Vian felt a surge of irritation roaring inside her. That was her fault, she admitted to herself. A trap inside another. That was how this maze works. 

"The mechanism of this maze is confusing. That's why I'm not lashing at you yet."

However, inside of her, she noted this. A small part of her was filled with satisfaction. 

'I outdid her.'

Even if it was only she who could see that, the satisfaction did not lessen. A silly thought was in her head now. 

'I'm better than you and Alastor is definitely going to end up being mine. You, on the other hand, will stay away from him and always fall behind me.'

Although those thoughts may have been inappropriate at that moment, Vian could not stop herself from thinking about them. 

'Or else, I'd wish for her to die. And may even finish her off by myself.'
