Chapter 20

• “Umf!” Claudia groaned in pain when her face landed on the soggy ground. She thought she was successful enough to teleport herself before she fell from the bridge, but she missed the part that ‘falling’ was inevitable. A cry escaped her lips before raising her head and wiped the sludge off her face, cursing the young knight in her mind. “That little prick just pushed me. I could have had a better landing if he didn’t. Aish!” She squatted on the strand, her white robe turned black while few parts remained clean. It was all thanks to the rain, the mud won’t stick longer on the fabric.
• “My lord... wait for me,” Claudia muttered, she stood and headed towards Sebastian’s mansion. She felt weak. After using too much energy on making a perfect copy of Latina’s essence and, having taken by a werewolf in his mouth, exhausted was an understatement to describe her. Plus, she offered her blood to save Seth from poison. “I’ll certainly finish what we have started even if you used to threaten me,” she added and walked sloppily.
• The wind became icier, seeping through Claudia’s olive skin. She purred and hugged herself. “Almost there,” she said, encouraging herself to go on. After taking several steps, Claudia reached the mansion. It confused her when she saw the lord standing still under the rain like he intentionally got himself soak.
