Chapter 20: Here They Come

Allison Marx

'Verona, I know you didn't want to go to Roosevelt to be trained but soon you'll be.'

'Why choose me instead of the others? I want to live like normal people.'

'I know you do but it's a calling.'

'Have you seen this, Ayame?'

'Lady Frizabelle, our queen might be a human but she's a priestess.'

'Aren't you not like her?'

'By blood I am but I never practice or pursue what my mother does. I only protect, save and cleansing.'

'So Verona, make a choice.'

'Ayame you're not here to force her. You're here for something else. Worse, am I right?'

'Still nothing pass through you, Great fallen rogue, Ceres or should I call you Celestial.'

'Whatever suits you. It's still me though. Anyway, we have to cut to the case since my daughters were eavesdropping.'

'So much like you.'
