Chapter 2099

“Look, you’re the one who lured me into this mess!” Roselynn masked her

discomfort over being tricked by using a playful tone. “Me?” Emmanuel

convincing but fake version of the Dragon Tome, just enough to throw their

enemies off the scent. Since he suggested it, she played along without

hesitation. He dictated, and she transcribed dutifully–understanding that her

well–known handwriting would make it look authentic. As long as no one saw

her penning the text herself, they’d have no reason to doubt its truth.

“Let’s put the fake scripture back where it belongs and get out of here!”
