NovelEnglishClaim423 Chapter Forty One Chapter Forty One 1 was stunned into silence; Lara spoke on.
"Meetat noon. I stay on the fifth floor, in the last apartment to your right. I'll be waiting." She rose and walked to the door. "One last thing." She called. "I swear to the gods, I have no ulterior motives. And I am excited for this." She said with a smile on her face.

I watched as Aric gave instructions to the Trainees, teaching them how to deliver an unexpected strike against their opponent. They listened intently. He spottedand waved; I waved back. The moment he was done with them, he walked to me. "Want to spar?" "Con, aren't you tired of losing?" "I've only lost to you twice while sparring. Most of the time, it ends in a tie-or you cheat your way to victory." Ido cheat sometimes, but you don't expect your enemies to be honorable fighters; I was just training him to be a better warrior.
"I wanted to ask you a question." I said, remembering why chere.
"About what?" "The Aureonnas" He was silent for a second too long. "I don't know anything about that.' "That's a lie. I can see it clearly on your face." "Okay, I know a thing or two." "Why do I have no knowledge about them? I mean, I felt like a fool when they visited." "They visited?" he asked. "What did they want?" "Oh, so you know more than just 'a thing or two.' about them." "Why were they here?" he asked again.
"First, tellwhy they were never spoken about in the pack." "It's no serious reason; your father didn't believe in their cause." "And so, he thought keepingin the dark would contribute to bringing them down?" I asked with a cocked brow.
I know it doesn't make much sense, but he didn't like talking about them. Maybe it's because they believe in a so-called 'mind-made-up' god they call the god of light." Aric said.

They call the strange creatures 'flesh eaters'-odd beings that feed on living flesh, "And what did Alexander suggest to them?" 1/2 Chapter Forty One "You seem interested in this a little too much. What else do you know?" "Con, I've always been this curious; and you are always trying to find meaning in everything." "Alexander didn't do anything; he typically sent them away-they didn't look very pleased." "He did the right thing." "Why do you think so?"
"I just don't like them very much; they are just a bit too sketchy for my taste. With all their fake stories and bullcrap about The Chosen. It's like skind of cult, but they feel like they are the most righteous, the pure ones. It's... sickening.' I wonder if there was more to it-or maybe it was justbeing too suspicious of everything as Aric had said. "How is my father?" "There's been no news about him, Luna." Aric says knowing how much I hated when he calledthe term.
It was about two hours past the tLara had toldto meet her.
I didn't know if this was a very bright idea, but what if Lara was right? What if this was a way of finally getting a even with him for all those many times he had outdone me?
I traced my way to the fifth floor. I told myself that I was only doing this to get back at him; I was doing this to have scontrol over him. The last the touched me, I had been ready to do anything he asked. I was completely powerless and entirely under his control. Maybe it was tI let go of my fear and beca player in his game.
