CHAPTER 112
The pillow smacked Yuchen right in the face. He did not even blink. The soft fabric muffled the impact before dropping harmlessly to the wooden floor.Sitting against the headboard, Yuchen rubbed his injured shoulder. "Your emotional responses lack basic logic."Seraphina stayed on the floor, her face burning red. "It is not about logic! It is about decency! You do not just grab someone in your sleep!""I was regulating my body heat. The ambient temperature in this region is sub-zero. Sharing body heat is a proven survival tactic."She groaned, hiding her face in her hands. Looking through her fingers a moment later, she noticed a dark stain spreading across the fabric of his black shirt. Her elbow strike had reopened the stab wound from Riven's poisoned knife.Guilt instantly washed away her embarrassment. She scrambled to her feet."I opened your wound," she said, her voice turning serious. "Take your shirt off."Yuchen raised a single eyebrow behind his dark glasses."Do not look a
CHAPTER 111
The air inside the Serpent’s Throat grew colder with every step. Water dripped from the ceiling, echoing in the dark space. Tyrion stopped walking. He lowered his glowing lantern."This is my stop," Tyrion said.Yuchen paused. He turned to face the rogue. "The exit is still three miles ahead.""Yeah, I know." Tyrion shrugged, leaning against the damp stone wall. "But I have a guild to run back in the city. Plus, I don't really mess with the Silver Domain. Too many uptight knights and freezing weather. My vibe is more city shadows and stolen gold."Seraphina frowned. "You are just going to leave us here? After all that?""You have a straight path now, princess." Tyrion smirked, tossing a small map scroll to Yuchen. Yuchen caught it easily. "Just follow the main tunnel. Avoid the side caves. You will pop out right near a border town called Frostgate."Yuchen slipped the map into his inventory. He looked at Tyrion. The merchant and the rogue shared a long, quiet look. There was no friend
CHAPTER 110
The grand tent of the royal encampment smelled of burning pine and expensive leather. Maps were spread across a large wooden table in the center.General Vane stood over the map, his arms crossed tightly over his heavy steel breastplate. He looked up as the flap of the tent whipped open.A high-ranking scout commander rushed inside, breathing hard. He dropped to one knee, splashing mud onto the clean rug."Report," General Vane demanded, his voice sharp and impatient. "Have we located the merchant and the runaway knight?""We found them, General," the scout commander said quickly, keeping his head bowed. "Or rather, we found their trail."General Vane uncrossed his arms and leaned over the table. "Explain.""Our vanguard units intercepted them at the southern river road," the scout panted. "The rogue was wearing the merchant's signature black silk cloak and dark glasses. The silver knight was right beside him in her full armor. They broke through our primary checkpoint with blue magic
CHAPTER 109
The heavy metal door of the hidden bunker groaned open.Tyrion stepped inside first. He pulled off his dark glasses and tossed the black silk cloak onto a nearby chair. Seraphina walked in right behind him. She dropped her heavy iron pipe onto the concrete floor with a loud clang. They were standing in a forgotten maintenance tunnel beneath an abandoned Los Angeles college campus, far below the ruined dormitories.Yuchen sat up on his makeshift cot. His face was pale. The blue glow of his system interface flickered dimly in the dark room."Report," Yuchen said. His voice was hoarse and dry."Mission accomplished," Tyrion said. He leaned against the concrete wall and crossed his arms. "The King's enforcers took the bait. The whole army is chasing two empty horses down the south road right now. The north gate is clear.""The tactical execution was flawless?" Yuchen asked, looking at Seraphina.Seraphina wiped a smear of dirt from her cheek. "It worked. We hit the checkpoint, caused a me
CHAPTER 108
The cold wind howled through the empty wooden stalls of the abandoned farmer's market.Tyrion crouched in the dark shadows. He adjusted the fake dark glasses on his nose. He pulled the black silk cloak tightly around his shoulders."Take the brown cloak off," Tyrion whispered without looking back.Behind him, Seraphina reached up and untied the heavy, dirty wool cloak. She let it fall into the mud. She pulled the gray cap off her head. Her bright silver hair fell down her back. Even in the dim moonlight, her silver-mithril armor glowed with a soft, beautiful light."I am ready," Seraphina said. She drew the broken iron pipe she had kept from the fortress. It was not a sword, but it was heavy and deadly in her trained hands."The plan is simple," Tyrion said quickly, his voice sharp and focused. "We hit the guard post. We make a massive mess. We let them see my glasses and your armor. Then, we steal two horses from their picket line and ride straight south. We do not stop until the ent
CHAPTER 107
The next evening, the sun slowly disappeared behind the dark, jagged mountains. The sky turned a deep, bruised purple.Inside the hidden underground cave, Seraphina and Tyrion prepared to leave. They could not walk out looking like a silver knight and a famous rogue. The city was completely crawling with royal guards.Tyrion threw a heavy, dirty brown wool cloak at Seraphina. It smelled like wet dogs and old smoke."Put this on," Tyrion ordered. "Wrap it tightly around your chest. Hide the silver armor. If a single piece of mithril shines in the moonlight, we are completely dead."Seraphina caught the dirty cloak. She did not complain. She wrapped it tightly around her shoulders. She pulled a thick, gray cloth cap completely over her head, hiding every single strand of her bright silver hair. She rubbed a handful of black fireplace ash onto her pale cheeks to hide her noble, clean skin.Tyrion looked at her and nodded. "Good. You look like a poor, dirty farm boy. No one will look twic
