Capítulo 128: 126: Fated meeting - part 1

"I'll give you the benefit of doubt since you have a familiar feeling about yourself. Then, tell me this. What does that old witch want with me?" Well, that was a good question, was it not? But Maria had a feeling that nothing she was going to say would matter in the end.

The other felt too inhuman, too inflexible, and too familiar for Maria to feel comfortable about this talk. Also, the other had not dropped the attacking pose which made Maria's hair stand on the back of her neck as well.

"Lady Elma asked us to rescue you from the prison. This continent is in danger of collapsing. No, it is fated to collapse within this week and we need your help to stop it" Maria explained, willing to take the gamble and open up about her position.

Whether the other would believe her or not would be a different story altogether. Although, Maria could feel the other paying rapid attention to her words. Maybe the princess did know something about this eventual collapse.
