Chapter 298: Chapter 298: IT’S HER!

Without looking at Shadow, he stated flatly, "Tell me everything that the sorceress said to you when she gave you the stone!"

When Shadow heard that, he rose to his feet and stood respectfully, his back very straight and posture standard, before narrating exactly what happened back then.

When Orson listened to that, he became more certain that he and Calista were fated, but the fate wasn’t at all right?

And if he wanted to understand exactly what was going on, the best way was to have Shadow explain to him once again what truly transpired back then and why he was entangled in this mess.

"Shad_"

However, before he could finish speaking, he was cut midway as there was a knock at the door.

He looked at Shadow and motioned for him to check who it was.

Shadow obliged and went to the door with a dark expression. Didn’t the other guards not understand that they weren’t to be disturbed?

However, as soon as he opened the door, he saw one of the guards’ sweating buckets and looking very pale.

"What’s wrong with you?" Shadow asked coldly, feeling irritated that such a well-trained man was looking like that.

It wasn’t like they were just amateurs. They were men who had walked through fire and ice to be able to stand by the master’s side. So, what could it be that made him look like that?

The guard didn’t care about what Shadow was thinking about him right now. All he wanted to do was save his life and the lives of others. To do so, he needed to be rude, and he apologized in advance.

Thud.

Without warning, the guard fell to his knees, startling Shadow, who wasn’t expecting to see such a scene. He wasn’t the only one shocked, but Orson was as well.

"What is it? A man mustn’t just kneel easily like that!" Orson’s cold voice sounded, and the guard nervously raised his head to look at his master, his eyes red and body trembling like a leaf.

His appearance was so pathetic and he didn’t look like a well-trained person at all.

Orson, upon seeing that, narrowed his eyes as a foreboding feeling washed over him.

"You .... What happened? Tell me everything without leaving a single detail!" Orson commanded coldly as he walked toward the man, but the guard didn’t seem to mind the tone.

As long as he could share what happened to him and the others, even if he were to be insulted, it would be worth it.

"Master, we were in the room taking a rest when we received a guest. Thinking that it was someone from the inn, I went to check who the other person was, but then I found no one except this letter," the guard nervously narrated what happened and stretched his hand where the letter was.

Orson scrunched his brows but still had Shadow take the letter from the guard so that he could see it as well.

Shadow took the letter from the guard but didn’t read it and took it to Orson, who accepted it, opened it and started reading it.

By the time he was finished, his face was dark as the bottom of the pot and he didn’t look particularly well.

[Let’s meet where it ended! Xoxo]

Only one person in his life had a tendency to use that language he could barely understand, though if he wasn’t mistaken, she said that it meant hearts and kisses. But was that really the case? He wasn’t sure.

The fact that he had just arrived and Calista knew of his whereabouts, simply showed that she had come here a very long time ago. Now the question was, were they really going to tear each other’s faces?

But before they could do that, he needed to know more about what made the guard so pale and scared like that.

The guard continued with his narration and the more he listened, the more scared Orson became.

When the letter was picked up by the door, the guard didn’t know who it was for and obviously was compelled to read it. So, he opened it and read it. The moment he did, he couldn’t understand what it meant, so the other guards took the letter as well and read it.

That’s when everything started going haywire.

He didn’t know if there was something wrong with the letter, but all the other guards with him started clutching their stomachs in pain. Before he could ask what was going on, they fell to the ground and started groaning and twisting on the floor.

He could tell that they were so much in pain. Sweat dripped off their foreheads and their eyes bulged out like the ugly fish monsters he once fought with in the sea.

The guards were so much in pain and before he could do anything, they all fainted, foam coming out of their mouths. The guard panicked by what was happening but still remembered to check their pulse. Thankfully, they were alive, but their bodies hadn’t stopped twitching.

What scared him the most was that he didn’t react like that. There was nothing out of the ordinary before the letter arrived. Since he didn’t feel like it was directed at them, stealing one of the victim’s statements earlier meant that the letter was for his master.

With that thought in mind, he hurriedly came to meet the master, pass the letter and describe what had happened.

When Orson finished listening, his head was on fire. His brain was like being stewed on high-level heat and the feeling was agonizing.

That was Calista neutralizing how people before he could meet her and she did it ruthlessly and seamlessly.

Orson laughed dryly at himself, wondering what kind of fool he was to not have seen this side of her before. Or was it because he just didn’t want to see it? After all, he shouldn’t have forgotten that in order to have him. She boldly cut his face to make him ugly. After that, she gave him the cure so that he would be grateful to her.

She was that kind of cruel person capable of doing anything. It’s just that he momentarily pushed it aside and now it was coming to haunt him.

But where was this place where it ended?
