Chapter 351: Responsibilty
I fold the paper and shove it at the back of my shorts pocket, mentally deciding it was about time to do this. This spell will be Dace’s salvation and he wouldn’t have to worry about the rogues. The Rogues will leave Dace alone and leave Junueau too so it is a win-win situation, and maybe Dace won’t have to kill his Dad like he said.
As much as I hate that man right now I can’t let Dace be a murderer of his own father, he might not know it but it would destroy him and Emilia too.
Taking a mental note of ranting chats to finally ’do something’ I took a turn but then I heard a rustle sound. My eyes automatically skimmed through to the window and I swallowed a lump in my throat.
I must be hearing things, right? But the sound came again and I knew no doubt it wasn’t from my head. I took slow steps with caution and walked to the window and my eyes scanned the dark forest, and I heard it again as well as movement in the bushes.
Is that a Rogue? The grotesque figure told me all I needed to know and the last moment, not just one but more. They are lurking around! Did they follow us here? With the panicking question, I rushed downstairs and suddenly the wonderful scent of Dace’s cooking was lost in my senses and all I could think about was panic as I climbed down the last flight of stairs and spotted Dace in the kitchen.
He faced me the moment he heard my footsteps, a frown taking over his features when he saw my wild eyes.
"What’s wrong?"
I pointed to the window. "T-The Rogues, they are outside!"
He blinked, not once but twice. Before following the direction of my hand to the window and judging from the way his eyes gleamed I knew no doubt he zoomed in with his enhanced vision.
"They followed us, Dace"
He faced me back and shrugged. "They have been around the whole time"
