Chapter 419

The Silent Voices Haunting Those Left Behind — Part 2

Nell, who had been standing by in Alshir, turned white as a sheet as soon as the news reached her ears.

“We were able to escape, thanks to Rir, but Yuki remained in enemy territory.”

She could feel the tips of her fingers turn numb as the demon, the envoy sent by King Phynar, relayed the news. She felt winded, like she had taken a punch to the gut. The report stated that her husband, with whom she had parted just three days prior, had been captured by the enemy.

He and several others had been sent to a region where the human supremacists were thought to be highly active. She was supposed to have been a part of the group, but she was busy with another matter, so they’d scheduled for her to join up with them at a later date instead.

The event had occurred on the second night.

The demonic ensemble had fallen victim to poison while they were staying at the inn; their dinners had been laced with a toxin that rendered them immobile. And no sooner had they collapsed than a group dressed in black entered the room.

Yuki was the only one that remained capable of motion. He intercepted the ambushers and ordered Rir, who had been standing by outside, to carry the other demons to safety.

“He didn’t tell Rir to eliminate them?”

“He didn’t want there to be any rumours of a monster controlled by a demon killing humans, as he knew it was likely to threaten the status quo,” said the envoy.

They could tell that something had gone horribly wrong, but neither adult pried any further.

Lefi had said that she would rectify the problem, and they saw no reason to doubt her words.

“You got it!” said Lyuu.

“Don’t worry, Lefi. Everything will be under control,” said Leila.

Their agenda confirmed, Lefi and Enne prepared for an immediate departure.
