The Price Demanded By Fate

Eliabeth had destroyed several cities – all belonging to Temple of Void – in her rampage. 

The news was spreading among the upper echelons already. 

"Did you know Mom would encounter the people from Temple of Void?" Amelia asked with a shaking voice. 

She shouldn't have asked such a question from Neo.

He was the one who saved her mother from the curse. 

He was her savior.

But after being betrayed by her siblings, she had started to doubt everyone. 

"…" 

Neo exhaled deeply. 

"Yes." 

"Why didn't you tell Mother to bring more people with her…?" 

"…" 

The truth was bare before her eyes, but she remained desperate. 

She wanted to hear anything – even if it was an excuse – to trust Neo. 

"Neo… Answer me…" 

"More people could've jeopardized the secrecy of the mission. Besides, they would've become a burden on Elizabeth when the battle started."
