Chương 250: New Armor

Arthur was both stunned and nervous, so the words he chose as a response to Miko's confession were far from appropriate. 

"How would I know if you were different from Hazel?" He blurted out, realizing immediately that he screwed up.

"How would you..." Miko looked at him with wide eyes. "Hah," She gave a helpless laugh. "Has Hazel contacted you since the trial ended? Has she ran around trying to protect you, warning you about anything that might happen?" 

"I didn't mean..." 

"You meant exactly what you said," Miko said before standing up. "Jerano is going to be thrown into something by Tanera. I'm sure that before that, you'll meet your beloved Hazel. I'll talk to you later." 

Before Arthur could say anything, Miko disappeared to leave him sitting alone. He had his hand raised and lowered with a clench.
