Chapitre 519: He's Already Dead

"Grandpa…" Anna threw herself onto Joshua's chest. Her little body was wracked by sobs.

"How… How could this be…" Sally took a couple of steps backward as all color drained from her face. Joshua's final words had dealt a heavy blow to her, and she felt as if she had been struck by lightning. The ironic smile on Joshua's face further compounded this effect.

She suddenly understood where the elven servants owned by her family had come from. All of them barely ever talked, and some of them carried disabilities. They never talked about their past, and their eyes were seemingly always blank and dead. Once free elves, they had been captured and brought back to the Wind Forest in the most brutal manner by the brethren they had once protected. They were like shackled animals, and their souls were most likely already dead.
