Chapter 181: A Simple Deal
"Ah... our deal..." Calantar smiled, ever so sweetly. Fine lines formed at the corner of her eyes as her smile reached her eyes. "What was our deal again?" she asked, biting her lips. The smile on her pretty face turned to innocence.
Anyone who looks at Calantar would now marvel at the child-like innocence dripping on her face; anyone, except Alexandra.
Alexandra was not in the mood to admire the beauty in front of her. She got rather annoyed. "Calantar!" she raised her voice. "Give my friends back!"
"My oh my, look how highly you think of me, daughter of Aredil! I am flattered!" Calantar did a little spin and a dramatic bow, letting her pale green dress flutter around. "Do you believe that I can reverse time?"
Holding her hands behind her back, Calantar skipped and got to Alexandra with her innocent smile still on her face. Alexandra saw the unrepentant and uncaring attitude of Calantar. She got madder.
But Calantar did ask a good question. Can time be reversed?
Alexandra observed Calantar. In the innocence of her smile, she was hiding a lot. Maybe it was just her impression since she is biased against Calantar, or it might be just her instinct. But she had a feeling that she should not let herself be tricked by Calantar.
She does have a lot to ask for.
Alexandra’s eyes met with Calantar’s and it was then she started feeling dizzy. She could sense that something is trying to get inside her.
[Ah... Calantar... Are you trying to get into my thoughts? Sorry, I do not appreciate that...]
Alexandra tried to cast blocking spells, but she found herself getting weakened to cast spells. The courage she garnered some time ago started to shake as she stood on metaphorically unstable ground. She did the next best thing she could.
[Father! Help me!]
