章 253: Reunion

For a second time, Rowan was being told of Syryn's death.

"Can a human survive a month without air?"

The mermaid was driving a nail through Rowan's heart.

"Dead. Your lover is dead."

The mermaid was a spoilt thing who was sheltered all her life by her family. She had been allowed to get away with being rude and disrespectful by the mers. When she saw how Rowan had protected her, she falsely believed that the anti mage was never going to hurt her. It emboldened the mermaid.

Rowan was quiet. The first warning about Syryn's death had been stressful but seeing how it came from the enemy, Rowan hadn't allowed it to affect him too much. Now hearing it from a witness, the anti mage had to face the facts.

"Keep her tied up and locked inside a cabin. I'm going to Silisia," Rowan said as he stood up.

"Will you look for Syryn in the abyss? You'll die as well," the mermaid told him gleefully.
