章 170: They won't help

- Are you ready to do that? - Ivrim asked Artemis with complete seriousness.

- You said yourself that I don't really have a choice. – she answered sadly. – But even if I had the right to choose, I would not be able to refuse.

Instead of escorting Artemis to the castle, Ivrim decided to walk with her through the garden and understand her point of view about her own destiny. Did she agree with that? Was she ready to help and not give up?

- You'll have to face her again. - The elf King reminded her.

- This time I will be prepared. – she smiled back. - With your help, of course. I could not have imagined that she would go so far as to start killing people just to prolong her life. It seems that wizards were not enough for her. How can you be such a cruel person?

- This man's ambitions know no bounds. Someone else's soul is dark, dear. – said the elf.
