Chapter 86 : All This Way for Nothing

“Eliza, are you okay?” I asked.

As soon as Ciana and Theo left, I noticed Eliza’s shoulders sag slightly and she let out a deep breath like she was beyond exhausted.

“I’m just… tired…”

“Come on.” I wrapped my arm around her shoulder and supported her against me.

She leaned heavily on me and I could feel her legs tremble a little. Eliza was far more tired than she should be after a little outing.

I tried not to let it bother me. We’d been very busy, traveling all over the place for weeks. Not to mention coming to her home realm to face her family.

She was probably emotionally drained as well.

I supported Eliza back to the hotel and sat her down on the bed.

“Is it the curse?” I asked.

She rubbed her arm where the curse tattoos were hidden under her sleeve.

My own shadow had been very dormant since arriving in the Light Realm. I wondered if that was because I was so worried about Eliza and focused on her.
