Capítulo 138: How?

Suddenly, the world seemed to become eerily silent as everyone looked around to seek for the source of that ominous voice that reeked of nothing but danger and authority. Even more than that, they were curious at who was it that could so easily shout out and threaten them with the life of their emperor itself.

Everyone froze in shock except for Evie who had felt the hideous tension in her body immediately disappear. How? How could it be that he was already back? And the more curious thing was that he did not appear from the walls or the gates… but from the castle?

Evie felt her heartbeat hastened but it was not due to fear and dread this time. She could not believe that she would be hearing his voice again anytime soon even though it did sound quite like death warmed over at that moment. She could not help but release a small chuckle then, owing it to both the strain and stress of the chase as well as the sudden relief that came at the right time.
