Bab 203: I need you to attack

Salma flushed red at his words and wanted to ask him why she would scream his name, but seeing the look on his face, she decided against it. He would only give her a worse answer, or an infuriating question.

"We need to go to Agina Mountain. The orb holding my powers is there and I need to retrieve it. But I don't know the way to the mountain." 

"Why me?" Gideon probed, narrowing his eyes at her. 

"Huh?"

"Why did you decide to go with me? Your boyfriend knows the way to the mountain."

"Cozan is not my boyfriend. And he can't go with me because the place weakens him. You don't have that weakness."

"That's all? No other reason?"

"What else do you want to hear?" 

"The other reason in your heart."

Salma knitted her brows and twisted her lips to one side. "I don't know what you are talking about. I already told you everything. Can you quit questioning me already?"
