Of course someone who had read how a black witch attacked and destroyed a kingdom in no time would be afraid of her. And there was no denying that Eleonora was also afraid of Effie. She was just trying to look very confident.
"For now we're safe, right? So let's not think about anything bad." Eleonora did not want to think about complicated things.
Right now, telling her what she had was a shock to Effie. That woman would definitely think even harder before trying to attack her. She wouldn't lose so easily like last time. Eleonora turned her gaze towards the street outside, ignoring Demian's worried little grunts at her.
Eleonora saw a man in a cloak that covered his face. It was already cold in the fall. And she was sure it wouldn't be long until the snow fell and winter officially arrived. Her heart was beating fast all of a sudden. She didn't recognize the wrong face. She couldn't have misrecognized the person who had stabbed her to death in front of the door.
