章 41: Why Must It Be At This Moment?

"Sir Randel! What's the matter?" Eli hastily asked the exhausted Randel in concern. 

"The Spectre has deduced your identity... They're on their way now to capture the Lady!" Randel said in panic. 

Shock filled the entire crew of the grievous news. Eli was frozen stiff and panicked. Her complexion became pale as beads of sweat appeared on her forehead. Her shiny dark eyes were now dull, dim and blank.

"Why must it be at this moment?"

'Why do these situations always come when I am not ready?' '

Am I going to be helpless again?'
