Chapitre 160: ---

¬ HILN 

I have been so foolish. My lips tilted upwards in a faint smile as Becca assisted me in packing my things. 

"How long exactly will you be gone for?" May asked, fiddling her fingers at her stomach. 

Saffire was out with her Lord and I had been wallowing in my sorrows when May found the books in my possession. Becca and Saffire still don't know about the information I had gleaned from Strome, it would be too much. As the more I came to know, the more bleak and hopeless the future seemed.

But to my surprise and shock, May recognised the texts of the books. She didn't understand the language, but it was very familiar and she had mostly come across it in her homeland, Egypt. 

It wasn't a common language. In fact, it was very scarce due to its complexity. But her late mother, who had been a high-ranking government official had taken May to her workplace a few times where she had seen the texts.
