Chương 48: Leriat VIII

Adelle and Leriat nodded in understanding, empathizing with the weight of his burden.

"I'm sorry I couldn't provide more detail. It was all that I remembered," Leriat apologized.

Ervian reassured him, "Worry not. You've done a great job sharing what you know. It's not an easy task to recall such memories."

However, Leriat hesitated before continuing, "but ... umm ... uh, sorry, never mind."

Curiosity sparked in Adelle's eyes as she encouraged him. "What is it? Just let it out."

Leriat took a deep breath and revealed, "Grandma used to take notes of her stories, or so I thought. It wasn't until later that I realized they were actually visions. I often saw her writing in her room ...."

"... and taking them would take us back to Rumabel," Adelle remarked with a resigned tone, her gaze shifting towards Ervian.

Ervian, unable to meet her gaze directly, turned his face in her direction and nodded in agreement.

'That would spell disaster. Lefazio is there.'
