Bab 289: Tension

Back in the shelter, Lio looked like he had aged ten years as he wiped off the sweat on his brows. He was glad that the animals were not dead yet and they had arrived exactly on time! 

If they were even a minute later, the dogs would have already… good grief… he was certain he would be doing clean up for the human's dead bodies while the prince would be somewhere else, giving the animals a more than decent funeral. 

"Now shall we go, Your Highness? We've wasted too much time already!" Lio was desperate. If he could, he would have already dragged the man out of the place long ago!

Elijah walked towards a window and stood there, sticking his hand out as if to feel the movement of the air. His eyes focused on the hills that were at a distance where they should have been right now! If not for that unexpected detour they had to make, they would be standing where he was looking at right now.
