Shadow Slave
Chapter 153
By the time the three of them were led to the grand hall of the castle, the news that there was going to be another challenge had yet to spread through the entire fortress. Because of that, there was no crowd there, just a few dozen people who had happened to walk past and heard the commotion. However, their number was growing with each minute.
Standing before the entrance to the hall, Nephis was calmly looking forward, her thoughts a mystery. She seemed to be steady and collected. Sunny, on the other hand, was very nervous.
Just what was Changing Star planning?
Glancing around to make sure that no one could eavesdrop on their conversation, he leaned to her and whispered:
"You're not really going to fight one of Gunlaug's lieutenants, are you?"
Because that would be suicide. No matter how talented and strong Neph was, she couldn't hope to win against someone like that, at least not before absorbing enough soul shards to even the odds at least a little. Those people had not gotten to where they were by pure accident, too.
They had talents of their own.
Nephis didn't turn her head and simply said:
"...The walls have ears."
Sunny gritted his teeth and was about to retort, by at that moment, the Guard that had led them inside appeared from the grand hall, threw a dark look at them, and spat:
"Come on in, fools."
Changing Star simply walked forward, leaving Sunny and Cassie no choice but to follow.
Inside the hall, a small crowd of people was staring at the entrance. When they saw Nephis, a wave of confused whispers ran through their ranks.
"Who is that?"
"Never seen her before."
"There's something strange about that girl…"
The whole situation was much less ostentatious and theatrical than that on the day of Jubei's death. Most of the lieutenants weren't even here, not to mention the Bright Lord himself. Only the leader of Hunters, Gemma, was sitting on the steps leading up to the empty white throne. On his face, there was a slightly sullen expression.
To Sunny's relief, Harus was nowhere to be seen.
