Chapter 158: Blade's Direction, The Chief Evil Dwarves

Fran and Viola stopped their conversation when Adrian knocked and came in.

Viola looked amusedly at the wily fellow who eyed her place.

It seemed he must be Fran's heir, or he wouldn't have known about her presence.

When Adrian delivered the seeds, he was full of questions, but when he left, he took with him a belly full of gossip.

Who else could be so comfortable in Fran's study if not a half-elf lady?

But under Fran's strict order to keep a secret, he couldn't go discuss it with Hill.

No sooner had Fran spoken than Adrian understood that the lady's visit had to be kept from Hill, at least for now.

As he walked out of the Magic Tower, he glanced at the Cloud House floating in mid-air and then turned to look in the direction of the Forest of the Elves.

The elves are still keeping an eye on Hill!

So even if she was a blood relative, Fran didn't want Hill to meet her.

That kid Hill, even though he had toughened up a lot, was still prone to soft-heartedness.
