Chapitre 406: Actions and Consequences

Krish looked up towards the skies. The girl's words still resonated everywhere - he could hear it. It was as if the atmosphere itself could not accept the words and was actively rejecting them. The air grew heavier with each passing second. The clouds grew darker, and the sunlight grew dimmer.

"You've just gone and done it, haven't you..." Krish said with a bitter smile. "Why?"

"You could have asked for them to be brought back here right now," Krish reminded. "Your words stated that they would only remain safe until they could return."

Marie chuckled self-deprecatingly and said, "I forgot the conjugations."
