Chapter 126: Her Protector
"Someone tried to break into the Sky Castle a couple of nights ago but whoever it was... didn’t succeed in taking down the protection ward. We have been chasing that person ever since then and we found his/her recent energy marks here in Lakeshire Village."
The revelation was followed by a long silence as no one spoke until the man with the green eyes decided to continue, "We couldn’t waste time in seeking approval before entering the town or we would have lost the track of that person."
Annalise found herself nodding her head in understanding as the explanation pretty much summed up everything. However...
"Then where is that person? The one you guys were chasing for trying to break into the Sky Castle in the middle of the night?" Leela was the one who raised the question as she folded her hands over her chest and stared at the man who was doing all the talking.
"He’s not here, we have already checked. He either escaped before we arrived here or..."
Leela suddenly let out a chuckle but there was no humor in it, she was clearly laughing at the man. "Seriously? You just claimed that you trespassed into Lakeshire because you were tracking someone and now when I’m asking you where that ’someone’ of yours is, you are telling me that he already escaped. Such an interesting story."
"Are you implying that we are lying?" The man didn’t seem happy about the accusation that Leela painted him with.
"What else am I supposed to think then?" Leela challenged in response.
At this point, Annalise was almost done with both Leela and the Sky Castle men. She had nothing to do with either of them but she was still there listening to their constant bickering.
