Chapter 76: HE WILL SUCK OUR PACK DRY
"Did I do something wrong?" Iris asked timidly, as she stared at Cane’s vicious expression. She would like to avoid staring at him, but then she wouldn’t be able to know if he was talking to her.
"We are far away from the nearby camp and we still need to find the magic stones." Which meant, if they had to return to the nearby camp, they would waste their time and it would already be evening once they reached there.
Cane put away the flask and resumed walking.
Once Iris realized that, she also noticed Cane had not actually drank the water at all. "Oh, I am sorry, I didn’t think about that."
She was both hungry and thirsty, which made her fill her empty stomach, yet Cane had walked away and she could only follow him.
Unfortunately, or rather fortunately, because Iris gulped down the remaining of their water, Cane decided to call it a day and instead of forcing Iris to look for the magic stones, they returned to the nearby camp.
Iris got a warm meal and water, while Cane talked with a few slave trainers there. Ania was nowhere to be found, it seemed Stone had returned home with his daughter.
Iris was munching on her meal and enjoying her meat when she felt someone approaching her and found Redmond crouching down in front of her.
"Nice to see you, luna." Redmond smiled brightly, but his cunning eyes couldn’t hide his actual intention. He took Iris’ hand and was about to kiss it, but she pulled her hand away before he could do it. "I am your loyal warrior, remember? I took an oath not to hurt you, so you don’t need to be afraid of me."
