Chapter 581 - Bell Tower (1/2)

Several days passed with nothing disastrous happening Sunny and Cassie spent the the food Welthe or one of the Echoes brought theh they were constantly watched, both res weren't as peaceful

Of course, Mordret had not killed again… doing so would have only compromised his efforts to frame Sunny for the murders However, the air was so full of tension that one could al, the already frayed nerves of the Lost drew tauter and tauter

Fear, unease, and anxious anticipation built and built,under the pressure of uncertainty into dark, viscous, and volatile dread

So produced the best result

Mordret knehen to push and when to pull too well

With nothing to do but wait for an inevitable attack and nowhere to release the tension, the Lost spent a lot of ti at the closed doors that led to the quarters where Sunny and Cassie were kept, their face growing darker with each day

Soive… at this point, even Pierce and Welthe didn't seem confident in their ability to keep these soldiers under control and battle-ready The two Masters spent the ti their own plans Sunny didn't knohat these plans were, since he didn't dare to send one of his shadows to spy on the foruess, though

On one of these days, he noticed that the Lost see a bit strangely, as well

Sunny frowned, then walked to the door, picked up a tray of food that had been delivered by an Echo a few hours earlier, then brought it over and handed one of the bowls to Cassie

"Eat well today"

The blind girl gave hie would not have looked like anything, but the two of them knew each other very well… no matter how complicated this relationshi+p was

Sunny had let Cassie know everything he needed to convey, and she had signaled that hiselse, they concentrated on the food

Although the Night Temple was sealed and cut off froh the temperature inside had dropped by a lot in the last few days The cathedral was chilly before, but now, the cold felt intrusive and everpresent

Beyond the black walls of the Citadel, Nove It was at least one week past the date when Sunny and Cassie were supposed to rendezvous with the rest of the cohort on the shi+pwreck island, in case Valor denied them access to the Gateway

Sunny wondered how Effie and Kai were doing right now Were they worried, or waiting patiently, not knowing that everything had gone horribly wrong?

There was no way to know

He sighed and looked at Cassie The blind girl was sitting silently, staring into nothingness They were close enough for him to see the reflection of his pale face in her beautiful blue eyes

Sunny smirked

'Huh… not bad'

He had looked terrible after crawling out of the iron cage, but by now, his appearance was more or less back to normal He felt much better, too

Whatever fate had in store for him, he was ready

…A few hours later, the door of their small room opened, and Welthe appeared outside The Master looked at them somberly and said in an even voice:

"Lady Cassia, Awakened Sunless The situation has changed a bit It is… not safe for the two of you to remain here anymore Come We have to move you to a different location"

Sunny stared at her for a few mo alright?"

She lingered, then answered succinctly:

"It will be"

'Wow Not ominous at all'
