Chapter 108 My Executioner

• Adelaide finally arrived.
• Egil closes his eyes, waiting for her to approach. Her steps are so subtle that they can hardly be heard in the deep silence of the room. He hears a sigh very close to him, tempting him to open his eyes, but it is not yet the time.
• Something stirs beside him. Then a babble from his daughter and the creaking of the armchair. He just has to wait a little longer and she will be his once again.
