Chapter 197

"We've done nothing but talk for the past five years," Tilly said firmly. "I thought it was the time to finally make a move."

Right now, she and Solaris were in the prayer room of her brother Wixx.

They stood opposite each other while a cauldron with a giant red flame stood between them.

"Solaris, I'd like to apologize for by-passing your authority as the Fire Archmage," she said, then she bowed to him. "I will take responsibility for everything."

"Supreme, please don't bow to me."

When she raised her head to look at him, she didn't see an ounce of anger or bitterness on his face. "Aren't you going to scold me?"

"I wanted to scold you at first," he admitted. "But on our way here, I remembered how hard you trained and prepared for the past five years. Even with your memories erased, you still believed in us and followed every single thing that we told you to do. And you never disappointed us." He smiled as if he was reminiscing the fond memories that they had for the past five years. Then, suddenly, his smile turned sad. "But now that I'm looking back, I think we got along well because you were… tamed."

"In short, you're used to have me under your control," she said playfully. "And now that my memories are back, you don't know how to handle me anymore."

His face turned red in embarrassment. But he nodded to admit that she was right. "I was born here in Solarium and I've been protecting the island and the clan since then. I don't know the life outside and to be honest, I'm not enthusiastic to know. I believe that we're already safe here. That's why if I could, I would have locked you up here with us forever."

"Just like how you locked up Solenn here?" she asked carefully.

"Yes, Lady Nystrom," he admitted. "I don't want you to get involved with the Moonchesters again."

"But we've prepared so much for the past five years, Solaris," she reminded him. "Do you doubt our plan?"

"No," he said. "But I don't trust your heart, Supreme. You've always been weak against the Black Serpent."

Ouch.

But she couldn't complain because according to the story that she heard about Soleil Rosenberg and Kalel Nystrom, everything that Solaris said was true.

She already resolved that though.

"I am not Soleil Rosenberg so please trust me, Solaris," she said seriously. "And we've already established the fact that Kalel Nystrom could be controlled by another stronger being at any time."

Based on the video that they found attached to her in the past, they saw and heard her say that someone else was controlling the Black Serpent when he attacked her.

"That what makes him more dangerous, Supreme," Solaris instead. "What if it's another god, Supreme?"

"You don't have to fear the gods, Solaris," she told him. "For once, the Sky God is useless."

He looked like he almost choked by her blasphemy.

"Trust me, Solaris," Tilly said firmly. "But even if you don't, I will still escape and follow Winter and Solenn to the Royal Capital."

Solaris let out a frustrated sigh while shaking his head. "Do what you want, Lady Nystrom."

FLINT licked his lips when he saw Count Huxley go out of the cabin in the middle of the thick and dangerous forest they were in.

Right now, he was standing on a branch of a huge tree just beside the cabin. Brother Mikhail, on the other hand, was currently infiltrating the cabin to save Louisa and David. They were pretty sure that the two were being tortured for information.
