Chapter 183: 181: Red

“It’s too noisy. I feel like we’re going to get attacked any second. How do you even relax in all this noise?” Venus complained. She had not meant to complain this much but she could not help it. Complaining was a coping mechanism for her and it helped her relax as well.

But above all, hearing her own voice helped keep her grounded and made her realize that she was alive and doing considerably well in life. That was what prompted Venus to keep on complaining even when she knew she did not need to complain any longer.

But it did not seem like her companion was hearing her out any longer. Venus could spot the outlander’s face relax in a daze and she could not help but feel insulted. What gave this outlander the right to ignore her like that?

But Venus knew she had no right to get angry as well. She had forced her way into this situation and had even strong-armed the other into taking her in. And besides, it was not like her magic worked on Maria anyway.
