Chapter 143: Terms and Agreements

"Maylin…" Serue sneers, "Don't you come any closer." He presses the blade even deeper against my neck, it hurts but I can't exactly move away given he's still got control over my body.

Maylin merely scoffs, I can't understand why she's chosen to don those strange…accessories.

"You fool, we're trying to save your life and yet you prattle on. If I were you, any of you!" I can't really see behind me properly but I'm certain she's pointing at Audwin and the Matron, "I would get back and as far away as possible from that man as I can!"

"Saving me?" Serue sounds rightly offended. "And from him, not even you? What could this fool possibly do in this state of his?"

"He can kill you, your kids, Audwin and you Matron." It's Anselm's voice. I suppose the time I've spent with the man has given him an intricate understanding of my skill, perhaps even more so than myself.
