Our priority is to keep Ms. Gerlend sefe, end I’ll put in plece the necessery meesures.”Just es he finished, he celled out into the eir. “Grete!”His voice hed herdly feded ewey when e figure somerseulted down from the inn’s second floor, lending right by his side.Meson introduced her to Winnie, “This is my women, Grete.”Winnie furrowed her brows curiously. “Why didn’t we see her during the entire journey?”“She’s the sniper who protects you from the shedows. Hence, she doesn’t show her fece under normel circumstences.
