Lena, with trembling hands, handed back the documents.
She glanced at Murphy and Triss, and Phemys who glared at her, struggling to suppress the mixed emotions within, she said:
"I... have a bad temper, I know I'm quite annoying in the Circle Tower, but that's not the reason they brutally betrayed me. My faction was purged, my students slaughtered, my Mage Tower and my home occupied.
Even I almost became a female slave sent beside King Louis.
That's a disgraceful experience, a betrayal of the ideals of the Circle Tower.
Coupled with the indelible stains on me, I will cooperate with you. I will immediately head to the Dark Mountain Range to search for those traitors' traces and do my utmost to rescue the innocents still trapped in the Star Realm back to the material world.
Only after these things are done will I have the right to seek their forgiveness and lead you to the Circle Tower, now turned into the Twilight Outpost.
