Capítulo 54: I Underestimated You

Kaelix couldn't help the frustration that gnawed at him, a gnawing that had turned into a tight knot in his chest.

He gripped the reins of his horse tightly, his knuckles white against the leather as he urged the animal to go faster, away from Eirik, away from the turmoil brewing inside him.
