บท 614: Stepping Out

"Fine. I will come out."

Rey could see the pleased look on Gratiana's face as he announced his compliance with her words. He couldn't particularly read her mind, but judging from her expressions, he could pretty much guess what was going on in it.

The Elder Elf most likely intended to incapacitate both him and Kara, while they executed Esme. He couldn't sense any particular hostility directed at him or Kara—just disgust.

Lots of disgust.

However, Esme bore the brunt of Gratiana's killing intent, and even Rey could feel it, almost as if it was physical.

'She doesn't even bother to hide her intentions. Are all Elves like this?' He wondered to himself as he slightly glanced at Esme.

The neutral look on her face told him she was fine. Still, he wasn't so sure about that.

"You good?" As his voice softly echoed out, he saw her nod and look at him with glistening blue eyes. They looked full and wet, and he instantly knew why.
