Bab 189: Melting Ice

Brigantiea's mana finally stabilized, but her emotions remained a tumultuous storm, tearing her apart inside.

She knew she deserved all the pain in the world, but not Lucien.

She had been a mess during their earlier encounter, unable to think clearly. Now, with her mana back to normal and the chaos within dissipated, she took a deep breath and tried to control her emotions.

Her focus was abruptly shattered by Avalerry, who was struggling to stand, using her scythe as support.
