Chapter 246 - A Fair Trade
A trade was made.
A fair exchange.
Belladonna in place of what Alaris desired the most, his freedom.
After all the time they had spent together, his desires never changed, no compassion ever made its way to his determined heart, he never swayed.
Belladonna had watched chains snap to the ground, heavy metals clanking against the red glowing floor. She still couldn't see him, which meant that whatever freedom he had received from Thanatou wasn't complete.
There was only so much that Thanatou could do then, after all, he wasn't the one that caged him here in the first place. This meant that Alaris had been a spirit all along, his body must be somewhere else, and the strength of her mind had never been the problem.
Also, this had better be a plan to get the sunflower!
Alaris would never leave her here? There was a Bloodoath between them, she was his true freedom and that was why he always came back for her.
She held onto that though and spoke.
