Chapter 481: She Tried To Kill You
Orion's jaw tightened long before the words left his mouth.
He didn't look at Brynhild.
He didn't even look at Sophia.
He stared at the wall beside the bed, at the faint crack that ran through the stone.
"She tried to kill you."
The words were rough and quiet.
Sophia nodded.
"Yes," she said softly. "She did."
The room felt smaller after that. Brynhild was quiet; she sat at the edge of the bed, staring at Sophia.
"We had just finished the tasks Ethan had assigned us. The ones each examiner gives," Sophia began quietly.
"After that… everyone decided to split up and start on our individual tasks. We had little time left, and we did not want to waste it. After all, the earlier we moved, the better and faster we could finish."
Her gaze dropped.
"So… we went our separate ways."
She lifted her eyes again.
