Chapitre 468: No Mercy - Part 3

LERRIN

Lerrin was frozen to the floor. Reth knew about the mind-link? How was that possible? It was a secret that had been kept for millennia. 

Hadn't it?

He opened his mouth to brush off the request, to plead ignorance of what Reth spoke, but… something held him back. Their eyes locked. If Reth truly knew about the mind link and Lerrin lied about it, Reth wouldn't believe him on the other things. His only chance to be heard, to be a true help to his people was to affirm the breaching of this secret…

For the first time in a very long time, Lerrin found himself stuck, unable to determine which was the greater transgression.

Reth growled. "I had the mind-link confirmed by wolves who were deceived. They did not know that they confirmed what, until that day, were only suspicions. I bluffed and it worked. Do not blame some among your tribe for trusting more than they should. It is a reflection of their good hearts."
