Chapter 115
The eagle-beast guard, who had been cut by Euphoria earlier, kept a close watch on her. Now that they were deep inside the main fortress, he seemed a bit more relaxed. Suddenly, the heavy wooden door creaked open, and the phantom patriarch walked out from the tall stone building.
When he saw Euphoria, a fake, creepy smile appeared on his scarred face. Euphoria looked back at him, her face completely still and cold. The man noticed the dried blood on her shoulder where the eagle-beast had grabbed her, but he didn't say anything, though his eyes darkened with thought.
"We meet again," he said, walking over. He was so tall that he had to look down to see her face. Euphoria felt uncomfortable under his gaze and took a few steps back to create some space. She gave him a small, tight smile. "We do, though I expected you earlier."
