Chapter 857: COMMITING CRIME
Iris spent her time with Cane, just laying next to him and stared at the two tiny lights that had been with her since the beginning. These two lights had been accompanying her and another source of her strength, aside from Cane.
She stayed there until she heard a knock on the door, which was none other than Ethan, informing her that they had moved Arella and the three little girls to the room next door and Grace was looking after them.
"I will be right there," Iris said from inside the room and pushed herself up from the bed. She stared at Cane’s sleeping face and kissed him tenderly on the tip of his nose, like he did to her. "I will be back quickly, be good, okay?" Iris chuckled to herself because that was the line Cane used to tell her if the role was reversed.
One positive note that she could get from Cane’s condition was; she could kiss him as she liked without him caught her. But, of course, she liked it most when he was awake. She missed him...
After that, Iris went to the room next door. Grace was there too, so did Aliana, as she tried to talk with the little girls, but they refused to speak. They looked mortified when Ethan came with Iris and huddled together.
"Luna," Grace greeted Iris and then told her about Arella’s condition. "The poison was made by Haco. I am not sure what he put inside. I think he put some dark magic too." Grace was a healer, she couldn’t do much if it was about dark magic, she was almost clueless when it came to it.
"Okay, I got it." Iris looked more reserved than usual. It was understandable after what she had gone through and what they had to face right now.
"Luna, I don’t know what happened to them, but I can’t make them speak. They look terrified, I think part of it because of the battle. They are still shocked." Aliana approached Iris and Ethan.
The battle must be horrified for little girls like them.
"I can’t understand why Kellan took these little girls with him in the campsite. What the use of them?" Ethan frowned, he stared at the pitiful girls, but they became even more trembling in fear. Aliana then stepped forward to block his sight.
"Don’t stare at them like that. They are more scared to men." Aliana noticed this, but thinking it was because the warriors were mostly men and that was the reason why they were scared of them.
