Chapter 131
A storm of magic power swept through the area like a raging tempest, and within it, Dale quietly turned his head.
Mind manipulation and illusions, magic nullification, the Blue Tower’s pride in stratagems and deceitful tricks.
At last, the strings binding Sepia were severed. Through Dale’s will.
“……!”
For a moment, Sepia lost her balance and staggered. Dale hurriedly supported her, and at the same time, he could feel her body trembling faintly.
“Ah, ahh…”
Sepia clutched her head as if it might shatter. Titania and the young ladies of York merely stared at her with expressions devoid of even a shred of emotion.
She wanted to embrace her immediately, to ease her pain. But there was nothing she could do to change anything.
Six years ago, she had become Dale’s tutor for the first time, spending a considerable amount of time together. As a trustworthy teacher, as a kind elf who protected Dale from the bitter cold and loneliness of that day.
“Why?”
Mistress Titania spoke to Sepia, who was clutching her head.
“Miss Sepia has performed the Sorceress Council’s mission admirably.”
“Duties…?”
“Recall carefully. What we commanded you to do, and how you carried out those orders.”
“From the very beginning…”
Sepia couldn’t continue and closed her mouth. After the silence, she looked straight at Dale.
“Dale.”
Sepia spoke Dale’s name, as if tracing her memory. Her voice trembled faintly.
