Chapter 167

• Walden saw the fear boldly written on her face. From her previous tale, he knew and understood the reason for her reluctance. He hadn’t thought of asking for this before, but then with her persistence and all that’s been going on with him lately, he needs to know if there should be any reason at all to carry on with life, and Maggie here is the only one who can tell him that.
• “You just said now that you would do anything…”
• “Anything apart from that, sire. Honestly, I never expected that you would ask me that after hearing of my situation. Sire, please understand that I mean you no disrespect by refusing, but after what happened, I’ve promised myself to keep my powers buried where no one will ever find them. I don’t intend on breaking it so soon.”
