Chapter 51: Tubby Is Here!
«After everything that happened in the past, he still has the nerves to be near me... Come at me...»
With the smirk still ruling his face, he looked at Felixa. She looked like she is trying to compose herself.
«Why aren’t you showing your true emotions to me? Why aren’t you asking me anything? Why don’t you trust me?»
His heart broke. When he was fighting with the monster, he could feel the pain she felt. Those voices of the monsters that he never heard before, he could hear them now because of his connection with her.
He looked at the parched land full of puddles now. The rain is letting up and the ground is soaked. This land was cursed and it is forbidden for him to enter. But he needed to be here. He had a reason he brought her here with him.
«I am sorry, Lexa... I am sorry for hurting you... I promise that everything will be better... You will be where you deserve to be...»
His hand reached for the hilt of his sword. He didn’t want to let Felixa meet with that guy now rummaging in the upper level. Like him, he too has come back for some reason. He’s been searching for that guy for years and now that he has a chance, he didn’t want to let him live anymore.
«He must die!»
"A couple of horsemen are approaching..."
Felixa’s soft voice made Maximus snap. He looked in the direction she pointed to see a couple of horsemen approaching them. Although they were hooded to shield them from rain, he identified them.
He was the one who sent them on a mission and asked them to meet him here today after all!
He didn’t want Felixa to meet that guy who is still inside the house. He looked up and that guy was still there seemingly searching for something. Closing his eyes he took a deep breath.
