章 174: The poison gate strikes back

Hill tilted her head, as she unwrapped another lollipop and shoved it into her mouth. Kellen noticed how tired she looked, but how well she was keeping on a brave face. He winced. He wanted to help her, since she was probably in need of guiding, but it wasn't his place to do so.

"I'm not sure I know what you mean." Kellen told her, and she chuckled.
