Chapter 441

She glanced at Soren's retreating figure, knowing full well her recent tie in combat was just a stroke of luck.

Soren was still nursing an old injury, not yet back in top form.

Anna saluted smartly. "Yes, sir. I won't let you or Vivienne down."

Percival nodded in agreement, "Right, makes sense."
