Sylvie shook her head “It’s not like that It’s more… internal, like there’s ht before”
“Well You’ll have a lot of opportunities for self-discovery You heard in theto be more hectic from now on”
“At least we’ll have one another to count on,” she replied with a deter better control of this for a scythe isn’t i on ReadReadNovelFullonlinecoh “Not the best of odds, but much better than before”
“Maybe we’ll have so on a mission,” Sylvie said hopefully “I’d like to test out the extent of my control over aether in this form”
“We’re lucky if we can actually have the whole night to sleep without being disturbed,” Iover tofro with ht it would Having Sylvie in huer sister, albeit one with large inti of sister,’ Sylvie chi for us?’
“She’s probably asleep by now,” Ihold of me
‘I’ forward to having you back… however briefly that ht be’
“I’ll… try to spend time with her… tomorrow,” I replied, about to fall asleep until a firm knock on my door startled me awake
<hr>
“What!” I snapped,out of ize for the disturbance, General Arthur, but I have a eon,” a deep voice sounded fro to part ith the fluffy feather-stuffed pillowto the shape of et back up
“G-General Arthur?”
With a growl, I rolled out of bed and put on a robe “Coo”
‘Must I?’ she sent back, not even bothering to speak ‘I just uard only asked for you’
“Traitor,” I gruuard down the dihts of stairs until we reached the lower levels of the castle
“Did Commander Virion tell you any details about why he wanted to see eon guard currently on duty”
We walked in further silence as we neared the reinforced doors leading down into the dungeon In front of it were several figures that I recognized as the Council They were still all in their sleepwear, apparently having been disturbed froht in front of the door, was a hulking man a head taller than Blaine and twice as wide It took me a moment to remember that he was the assistant to the oldthe prisoners
“Arthur, do you knohat this is about?” Virion asked as we approached, his expression just as annoyed as uard “I cauy told me you called foron?” Alduin asked worriedly, his eyes bloodshot from exhaustion
“I called for you all because this man”—Virion turned back to face Gentry’s assistant—“What was your narunted
“Because Duve said that Gentry finally got one of the prisoners to talk,” Virion finished
“Who? The retainer?” Priscilla queried, her ar another gaze at the burlybehind the interrogator’s assistant in case he was hidden behind hi out here?”
“Master Gentry will be here soon,” Duve replied, standing his ground as if guarding the door
Hardly a erously thin when the dungeon door slid open and the hooked nose elder trotted out
“Gentry!” Blaine barked “What exactly is going on!”
“My apologies to the Council and General Arthur I was just finishi+ng up thesystes suddenly unfolded this way Still, I didn’t want to take the small chance of my beloved prisoner to break free while ere all down there,” Gentry said, cleaning his wrinkled hands on a cloth
Virion rubbed his te important out of the prisoners”
“Unfortunately, no,” the hooked nose elder rasped “Well, not exactly”
“Then for what reason did you find the need to pull us down here at this Godforsaken hour,” Merial quipped, her eyes narrowed
Gentry let out an uncoain “I have yet to break the retainer, but the traitor, Rahdeas—I think that was his name—has finally spoken for the first ti up froive you any information?”
“Well, no, not exactly”
“On with it, talking corpse!” Buhnd snapped, talking for the first ti in riddles and spit it out”
“Talking co—”
“Gentry,” Virion said, his voice frighteningly low
Gentry winced but took a step forward, puffing his chest in confidence “Thanks to yours truly, the traitor has finally spoken and he has requested to speak”—his crooked finger pointed toward me—“but only to General Arthur”
