Chapter 29: Chapter 29: Rescue Freya

Evelina, Jett, and Ray hurried through the forest that bordered the capital, their goal clear in mind: to meet up with Seraphina. The dense canopy above cast long shadows as the sun began to set.

"The Illusive Forest, huh? A good place to hide something big from others. Too bad it's getting late," Ray remarked as they entered the forest.

'He's right. This place might not have many monsters, but it's still dangerous at night if you get caught in its illusions,' Jett thought, keeping his guard up.

They moved swiftly, with Jett effortlessly matching their pace. Unknown to the others, he was actually faster. 'For someone not born into a noble family, he keeps up remarkably well,' Ray mused, casting curious glances at Jett.

Noticing Ray's persistent gaze, Jett turned to him. "What's on your mind? You keep staring at me like some weirdo," he said bluntly.
