Chương 532: My Love

[Nefertiti & Hecate's POV]

The woman led them toward a house on the outskirts of the town. Nefertiti looked around and noticed that it was isolated from the town. She wondered why this was and turned to the woman, who smiled as she answered her unspoken question. ''The town thinks I'm cursed.''

''Why?'' Nefertiti asked with a curious voice.

The woman looked at her with a neutral look and answered. ''They believe I brought this upon them when I used to hunt in the forest, and my name is Kelia, by the way.''

Hecate turned her red eyes to the woman named Kelia, who was dressed in worn-out adventurer's armor with a shirt and pants underneath. She led the two girls into the house and explained. ''We have to hide inside while the lights go out; otherwise, those things swarm and drag us off.''

Nefertiti's eyes narrowed with suspicion before asking. ''What are these things you speak of? And why don't the townspeople fight back?''
