Chapter 83: Won The Battle But Not The War

Ophelia: [Answer me.]

Maximilian: [Silence, woman. Don't you dare misunderstood the nature of my actions Everything that you see around here is partly caused by you.]

Kneeling on one knee before Altora who held the unconscious Lilith in her arms, Maximilian only looked at her bruised arms that repeatedly suffered from knockbacks.

Maximilian: [Tch.]

He ground his molars, standing up once again as Altora spoke out.

Altora: [She did well for a servant. Keeping up with those known figures of the war. Abbadon and Nolan. Who is this woman exactly?]

Maximilian took Lilith away from Altora's hands, carefully lifting her. Maximilian didn't faze nor make an expression as he did, only beginning to walk back in the direction of the mansion.

However, he hasn't taken more than two steps away, stopping to utter;

Maximilian: [What are you doing?]

He asked with a lower voice.
