章 133: Into The Deep Forest

The night was young when Maximus and Alexandra stepped out of the gates of the city. The moon was hanging high and the chilly autumn breeze cut through their faces as their horses galloped on that road leading to the forest. 

The whole place looked divine with the silver mist covering the ground. Alexandra saw the temple at the distance and inadvertently let out a sigh.

She heard that a couple more women died of unknown causes in the Harem. She was depending too much on Julius to tell her how the women died, but it seems like Julius has no plans to tell her the truth. She decided to investigate it herself.

Kefir could help, but he's been avoiding her. She could not believe he just abandoned her. She tried to contact Sekwi—the phoenix—and she didn't get any reply (as she expected). But Sekwi did say that Kefir was otherwise occupied and he won't come to her aid for some time.
