บท 245: Tolling Bells 2 (Ch.245)

"Word has it...Lord Menarx...on his return flight to the keep...he was shot out of the sky!" Davina revealed with a sob.

"Shot out of the sky..." Neveah repeated slowly, unable to comprehend what she had just heard.

Why would Menarx be shot out of the sky? By who? For what purpose?

"Veah... take a breath first..." Davina began to calm Neveah, wary of Neveah's reaction.

As the words settled, Neveah's eyes widened in horror and she scrambled off her bed, putting her weight on her feet before she was fully prepared.

Neveah's surrounding spun and she lost her balance, catching herself at the last moment with a hand on the headrest.

"Veah, you are in no condition..." Davina began again but Neveah was not at all interested in whatever Davina had to say.

Neveah shook her head quickly, her vision finally becoming stable and she grabbed a robe, pulling it over her nightdress before she dashed out of her room.
