Chapter 267: The Question Everyone Has
“How did you survive?”
Everyone sat there quietly as Cordellia finally asked the question that had been eating at her since the moment she saw Max standing amidst the carnage of King Jalnig Nuk’s attack. For a single moment, she felt the tower climb had ended and if they managed to escape, what hope was there for her?
Even Tanila had the crystal in her hand, struggling not to break it. Hope was somehow still in those eyes of hers as tears had run down for a moment. Some from sadness, others from joy.
Tanila was about to talk, and Max squeezed her knee and shook his head.
“Can you wait till we are in our room?”
“To tell me everything?”
Max nodded.
Slowly, she nodded her head before turning her attention out the window of the carriage.
