Chương 317: A Clash Above the Sea (2)

Aoife's brows furrowed, her expression darkened, and she bit her lips.

"But…" She mumbled. "What if something happens to you?" She asked with a meek voice. I hesitated, this was unlike her. She had always been the strong one. Always confident, always so sure of herself.

"I'll be fine." I finally spoke after some hesitated. "I survived the game, didn't I? And back then, everyone wanted to kill me." I forced a smile. "So don't worry about me, sis." I lied through my teeth, faking my smile, and reassuring her that all would be well.

I noticed Fetheion glaring at me with a dark, almost angry expression. I averted my gaze, refusing to entertain him. He had no right getting angry at me after all the lies he had told.
