Chapter 570: Fairy (54)
“Erginus...?”
After hundreds of years, the fairy's voice carried through the warm wind of the forest.
Mesmerized by the sweet voice echoing in his memory, Erginus turned his head, only to freeze upon seeing the woman who made even the surrounding spring seem fleeting.
Like a broken doll, he repeatedly opened and closed his mouth, turning what was meant to be a reunion—a miracle upon miracle—into a farce.
