Chapter 115: Uneasy compromise
Lamia quietly stared at Daubutim, noticing the massive warrior's eyes narrow.
Come on, come on. Please just say you will help, she thought, trying to will the other to say he would cooperate. If he wouldn't, she had no idea if that old bastard would ever let her go again. She shivered as she thought about what he'd done. If only Irwin had been able to get to her first!
I wonder if he will come back strong enough to stop Uxin'tar, she thought.
As she thought about the tall, powerfully built smith, she felt a sense of security. Irwin would definitely come back for her and save her. But what if he was too late? The world he'd gone to was far away, and Uxin'tar had said now that he was gone, he'd never be back in time to help. He had to be lying…
"What did Gelwin take?" Daubutim said in his dull voice.
Lamia was about to answer when she felt something painfully clasp around her cards while a voice resonated in her head.
"Tell him it's a powerful legendary card."
Lamia swallowed, then quickly repeated the words.
It's diamond, you old fogey, she thought as she watched the young noble frown.
"No single diamond card can stop what is happening," Daubutim stated. "However… I might be willing to find out where Gelwin is if I can if Uxin'tar does something for me."
Lamia wanted to scream for joy, but she couldn't. The way Uxin'tar had locked her cards down left her no room for it.
"What do you want?" she asked, relaying Uxin'tars question.
