Chapter 63 - One Victory With Its Troubles

Care?

That was ridiculous!

Soon enough, Veris would accuse him of loving her.

Such madness.

Ikrus wanted to stand against that statement but it was true that he cared about her.

Only that the way Veris had said it made it seem like it was much more than what the bond they shared had necessitated.

By the Moon, such foolery!

“Not enough to sway logic and reasoning if that is what you are asking for.” He calmly corrected him. “The little one,” he said in reference to Arlo, “will still stay here and I will stay here too, till it is time to go to the North Border. I will send her a letter to explain the situation and what my presence would signify on the day she sees me. She should have all the peace she needs.”

Since Ikrus was himself once again, Veris had undone his chains. He provided him with some writing materials and soon enough, the letter was ready. It wasn't easy to find a messenger to deliver the message.
