Kapitel 71: I Am Here

"Your wife, huh?" Felicia questioned, but her voice wavered. She was not as collected in Hades's presence as she tried to appear. She was afraid. Judging by how the men had been ripped into by Kael, it was obvious they were very much dead.

The scent of fresh blood filled my nose, my vision swirling. Luckily—or perhaps unluckily—my nose was broken and partly blocked. The sanguineous fragrance didn't hit me as hard as it normally would have, and with my exhaustion, it was hard to be too aware of anything, even blood.
