Capítulo 88: Promise- Part 2

"Why are you sending her away when you don't want to?" Malphus asked after few fleeting seconds.

Alexander who was dabbing his hand with his kerchief smiled dryly, "Because the circumstances calls for it."

"Surely you have a solution," the man asked to which the Lord hummed in response.

"It isn't enough to handle the sitch. To put this entire situation to a complete end will take time and having the girl I care for next to me is only going to complicate the existing situation," Lord Alexander sighed, "That doesn't mean she will be safe in the south. That is why I need you to have a close watch on Katherine while you are there. She's too trusting with people."

"Of course, Milord."

Malphus pondered on the Lord's words once he got out of the room.

Lord Alexander wasn't a simple man. If asked, he would suggest Katie to stay in Valeria but then it seemed that the Valerian Lord already had the bolts and wheels already set in motion.
