Chapter 70: YOU WILL BE WITH A CHILD
"How about your progress?" Cane asked her about the stones.
But, Iris grimaced because she still couldn’t figure out how to distinguish the difference while feeling the two types of stones she had with her. Yes, there was a subtle yet peculiar sense unique to each type, but she still couldn’t fully grasp the difference between the two.
Seeing the troubled expression on Iris’ face, Cane got his answer and didn’t ask further.
"Why do you want to get the air magic stone? Does that have anything to do with your curse?" Iris tried to ask about this again, but Cane didn’t seem interested in answering that question. He opened the carriage door and let Iris get inside first as he sat across from her.
The alpha looked out the window and from his demeanor, it was clear he didn’t want to be bothered, thus Iris didn’t say anything. She kept quiet during their entire trip to the east side of the pack, where there was a big tree on top of the hill.
Iris had been there thrice before. On very rare occasions, when her father was in an extremely good mood, he would allow her to roam around the village and town.
And when she was ten years old, a month after the fall of the Howling Wolf pack, her father was over the moon and allowed her to go out of the pack house.
That was the time when Iris went to the hill again, the place that she knew from Hanna. Her personal maid had taken her there for the first time when she was seven.
Iris was staring at the garden when the carriage passed the gate. There, she saw two villagers carrying bouquets of flowers and talking to the guards.
They chatted happily and when the carriage passed them, she could read a little bit of their conversation.
"...She is recovering. She looked healthy."
