Chapter 267 – Lorane

As soon as she saw Lorane screaming outside and noticed her injuries, Larissa began to wonder if she should go out and help her. Lorane looked scared.

"Should I go? But last time I was betrayed by her." Larissa began to remember the time when she was at the mansion and saw Lorane talking to that man who tried to kill her.

The two talked intimately showing that they knew each other and that Lorane was not afraid of him.

At least she had this impression.

Because of this, she was in doubt about whether she should help Lorane or not. Was she hurt because she betrayed the queen and decided to come to her? Or maybe it's a trap and she's faking it all?

'Damn, it's a little disappointing that I don't have the magic to read minds or something.' Larissa began to feel quite distressed when she realized that Lorane seemed to be giving up.

"Okay, I guess I'll go over there, if she does anything I'll kill her." Even though she tried to sound confident, just thinking about killing Lorane started to make Larissa a little nervous.

'Could I do that?" she started to wonder again, but quickly cleared her mind.

"Okay, if she has repented I will let her stay by my side, but first I need to make sure she is not in contact with the queen."

Larissa turned away from the window and then approached the door.

When she opened the door, she found Emily who was preparing to enter the room.

"I hear someone yelling at you, I thought you were in trouble."

"It's not that. A girl I know is calling me outside."

"A girl you know?"

"Yes, it's a girl who betrayed me a long time ago." Larissa clenched her fists looking annoyed.

"She betrayed you?"

"That's right, she betrayed me."

"But why are you leaving the room? Are you thinking about meeting her?"

"It's just that sometimes I think she betrayed me because of someone else's influence. She didn't want to do that. I'm going to meet her with that in mind."

"Hey, are you sure? What if she tries to do something with you again?"

"If she tries to do something?"

"..."

"I'll kill her."

Larissa looked seriously at Emily making her a little worried. After that Larissa left the room and went to the living room. There she found the guild master and also Suzan who seemed to be discussing something.

"That girl won't stop screaming, I thought she would give up faster." The guild master said as he rested his body on the couch.

And when Larissa arrived in the living room, he stood up.

Larissa said nothing, just looked at him, and then walked towards the front door. But the moment she approached, the guild master "teleported" in front of her, preventing her from opening the door.

Larissa raised her eyes and looked at him.

"Can I leave?"

"No. That girl is quite suspicious, I will not allow her into my house." The guild master said while keeping his eyes on Larissa.

"I won't let her in, I just want to talk to her."

"..."

"Come on, get out."

"First explain to me who that girl is and why she is calling for you. I also want to know why she's all hurt like that."

"She's a friend of mine, I go away from her a few months ago."

"I see, a friend. How come you never told anyone about her? Your friends never told me about that girl."

"I never told my friends about her either. I had some problems with her, so I stayed away."

"I understand."

"And she's all wound up, I need to know what happened. Even if I hold some sorrow I don't want to leave her in that state."

After saying that, Larissa looked at the guild master for a while until he lowered his shoulders and sighed. Then he turned away from the door.

"Don't do anything reckless."

"Don't worry, I've said this to Emily before, but I'll say it to you too. If she tries to do anything, I will kill her." This time, Larissa felt nothing as she said that, seeming to accept the possibility of killing Lorane.

And after saying this, she left the house and walked slowly to the gate.

Lorane who was desperately screaming outside stopped screaming as soon as she saw Larissa coming out of the front door and walking towards her.

Lorane knelt on the ground as she leaned on the gate.

She looked at Larissa approaching as she kept silent, not seeming to know what to say.

Even when Larissa came close enough to look into her eyes, Lorane remained silent.

"It's been a long time, hasn't it?" Larissa said while keeping a neutral expression on her face.

Lorane looked at Larissa for a while longer and swallowed her saliva looking a little scared.

"How are you?" Lorane said while avoiding looking into Larissa's eyes.

"I'm recovering from an accident, but I'm feeling pretty good."

"I understand."

"But let's not talk about me now, I want to know what happened to you. Why are you here? And why are you in this deplorable state?"

Larissa looked at Lorane's messy hair, her torn and dirty clothes, and also her injuries that were all over her body.

"The queen, her. After you ran away, she accused me of treason, she thought I had let you run away..."

"..."

"I was arrested and beaten... E... Please believe me." Realizing that Larissa didn't believe anything she said, Lorane began to get a little nervous.

"..." But Larissa just continued in silence.

"Urgh... I'm sorry, I'm sorry that I betrayed you! If I hadn't done that I would have been killed...and my family, please. I liked working for you, please."

Lorane began to cry as she leaned on the gate still kneeling.

"All right, but why are you here? Did you manage to escape and come all this way to ask for my help? I'm sure you couldn't do it alone."

Hearing Larissa's words, Lorane was speechless.

She was paralyzed for a moment before she began to stutter.

"I... I... I managed to escape after being forced to do some work for the queen. I asked some merchants for help and they brought me here, I said I had a friend living here."

"A friend?"

"Yes, it was you, I wanted your help."

"How could you know I was here?" Larissa looked with menacing eyes at Lorane, causing her to turn away from the gate on instinct.

But after, she approached the gate again.

That whole way of acting was enough for Larissa to conclude.

"You haven't changed. What have you come here to do? To poison me as you poisoned me at the mansion? Or maybe you have some weapon or accomplice along with you?"

"No, I don't have anything, please believe me! I just want you to help me, I don't want to die, please!"

"..."

"That man, the same man who tried to kill you in the past and killed your friend, he is here, he is hiding somewhere." Lorane started to say everything without caring about the consequences.

"Oh? You decided to speak?" But even though she saw the desperation on Lorane's face and her tears that kept flowing, Larissa didn't feel bad, it was as if her previous worry and indecision had disappeared.

"Please, I don't want to die. Here this, he asked to poison you with this. He's using me because he thought it would be easy for me to get close to you."

"I see..."

"Please, you need to help me, I don't want to die, please. I do-"

Ploft~~

"Then you came along. I've been wanting to find you, you son of a bitch." Larissa looked at the man who had crumpled Lorane's head and was standing on the other side of the gate.

"I was wanting to find you too, brat."

Hearing the man's voice, Larissa's heart began to burn.
