Chapter 45 Redemption At The Price Of Betrayal

• The warrior stopped just a few steps from Lyra, he felt her breathing hard and her body trembling with contained anger that would be about to come to light at any moment. Max clenched his fists so hard that his knuckles turned white, but he had to hold on, because he couldn't afford to cause a scandal of such magnitude, or Lyra's punishment would be worse, after all, he still cared a lot about her. the 5 years they spent living together and feeling like family by the time this whole warrior story began.
• His entire being was enveloped in a storm of emotions that seemed to have absolutely no control: betrayal, pain and rage were submerged within a wave of emotions that were difficult to justify and calm. But something in Lyra's eyes stopped him. Despite his pride, there was a deep, almost desperate sadness in his eyes.
• "Because? Why did you do this to me, Lyra? What do you have against me?", Max growled, barely containing his fury. —Why would you tell Xal'Thar everything?! You knew what it meant to us, to me! You didn't have to send us an enemy of that magnitude! Now, how the hell are we going to rescue my children? This is your damn fault! I will never forgive you!
