Chapter 314: Finding Answers (Part Two)
Annalise’s question was followed by a dead silence and when she turned her attention to look at Esmeray, she found the man staring back at her in shock.
A little smile appeared on her lips but the look in her eyes was filled with sadness as she spoke again - "When we talked last time and you told me the story of Light and Darkness, you kept talking as if you were a third party in their story, but even back then, I knew exactly who you were Esmeray... or I must say... Darkness itself."
Esmeray still didn’t say anything and just sat there in silence while looking at her as if she was speaking in a language foreign to him.
"From that day, I kept wondering why things have come to their current state. The Late Light Fae Queen was obvious about the conspiracy that was brewing in her own Realm to take her and her people down. But what about you? Did you know nothing about it all? And then she did everything in her power to save as many of her people as possible and also the rest of the world. But again, what were you doing all that time?"
Not being able to hold herself back anymore, Annalise pressed again - "Why are you helping them, Esme? Instead of stopping the murderers of your mates, why are you..."
She didn’t get to finish as the man suddenly threw the dagger and it flew right past her ear, damaging a little strand of her hair on its way.
For a while the only sound Annalise could hear was that of her wildly beating heart. As for the man who was behind the terror she was experiencing, he was calmly sitting in front of her like he did absolutely nothing.
It took Annalise a while to calm herself down and remind herself that Esmeray would never kill her no matter how angry he got.
This time, however, she remained absolutely silent and just waited for him to finally speak. And thankfully, he did speak but only after taking a whole lot of time.
