Chapter 160: Home

"Don’t think too much. There is no such thing as survivor’s guilt in this case; do you understand? They had a chance to run, but they didn’t take it. It’s not your fault, alright?"

Inez knew that he was right. He wasn’t wrong when he said that there was nothing that they could have done, that the two had enough time to run but didn’t; however, her heart still felt unsettled.

And it continued to feel unsettled as she lay on her bed and tried to sleep. However, that night, Inez couldn’t sleep well. She dreamt of being captured and dragged by the men of the council. She yelped in surprise and pain and woke up with a start.

Inez looked around and when she saw that she was in her lodge and quite safe, she heaved a sigh of relief. But at the same time, her heart was yet to calm down. It was thumping wildly in her chest, which made it difficult for her to fall back to sleep. Sighing, she got to her feet and then walked out of her room. It seemed like she was not going to get any sleep tonight.

However, when she stepped out of the lodge, she ran into Selene, who was accompanied by Laxus. The two of them were sitting out on the porch and drinking what looked like liquor.

"I was having trouble falling asleep," replied Inez as she came over and came to a stop in front of the small table on which sat a board with cheese and meat, with glasses filled with whisky. "You two seemed to be having a hard time as well."

Selene smiled, but her smile looked strained. She said, "I had some things in mind and couldn’t sleep. So I called Laxus to keep me company. Do you want some whisky?"
