Chapitre 270: Toll

"Bad omen," Syryn whispered. "You think it could be Artemus?"

"Could be Robin. She's been working undercover for a year now. Artemus' arrival is too recent for Bella to have been searching for him."

"What do we do then?"

"We attend the execution. If the victim is Robin then I'm certain that Artemus must already be looking for a way to free her."

Syryn and Rowan bought a room at an inn that charged an arm and a leg for a single night's stay. After receiving the key to the room, the duo went out to further explore the island on the side of Bella's territory.

Dusk had arrived on the island when they headed out. The streets were getting darker as there were no torches to provide illumination.
