Chương 251: Fire

A few sunrays managed to seep past the narrow openings above the group and woke up some soldiers. Khan opened his eyes only to notice the slight hesitation and fear in his companions' expressions. Everyone knew that a tough battle was ahead of them, and anxiety inevitably spread.

Delia woke up as Khan began to move to check his state. The woman had fallen asleep next to him, and she had ended up using him to support herself again, but she had chosen his left side since she had noticed her habit.

He only hoped that she wouldn't get the wrong idea about the nature of their relationship, but those thoughts didn't last long in his mind.
