Bab 1080: Price of Vengeance

'Why Bannok?'

That was the question Tycondrius posed to Natalya as soon as they were able to speak in private. 

At first, she complained that she wanted to volunteer Pale. 

However, she was aware that the boy was occupied with another mission-- one arguably just as important.
