"John definitely knows this Sinas you're talking about. His reaction about bringing someone back to life gave him away." Simon continues, "He probably worked under Sinas before, but I don't think they had a good relationship. His stern expression suggests that."
“That means that he also knows about Arwin’s death.” Luther continues, “Keep an eye on him.”
“And the girl? Nexus? Did you find anything about her?” Luther adds
To this, Simon shakes his head, "No. She's quite reserved, and she doesn't seem to pose a threat."
“It’s always the ones you least expect.” Luther sighs, “Prepare a spectacle tomorrow. Nexus will be showing us how she creates the first part- if indeed she’s the inventor of such design.”
“Why would she lie about that? No one would dare step inside our ship.”
"I don't know, but something about her feels off." Luther continues, "She reminds

"I did." Nexus avoids his gaze as she proceeds to the main deck, where everyone starts to gather. The crewmembers start to bring in the tools she needs and the broken parts.She finds John in the crowd and shoots him a look. Nexus pretends to feel nauseous; she makes herself fall hard on the floor, leaving everyone surprised. Luther squints his eyes, knowing that Nexus might be delayed, which makes him even more suspicious.Yet before Luther can even more check on Nexus, John hurries to her side and states, "She's pale. She probably passed out due to low blood or something."Luther flinches and remarks, “Indeed. Nexus told me earlier she… erm… have her period and stuff.”"That explains it," John says and carries Nexus inside a room. He says, "I might need a hot compress and something sweet."Luther retreats back to his room after saying, "Understood. The spectacle will continue as soon as she's woken up. Until then, everyo

She mutters to herself, "They probably tied him up somewhere, but where?"Arwin's eyes start to wander in every corner and every room they might have hidden him, and just then, Arwin's eyes fall on the prison. Where else to hide someone in plain sight? That would definitely be in prison, so Arwin hurries her way to try and make sure that Simon stays there.In just a moment, Arwin assumes the plan John and Nexus came up with to buy some time before I finish the mechanism for them. John injected something in Nexus to make her feel dizzy and unwell, and Simon, who knows the easy fix for that, needs to be far away from the scene.It's reckless, and John will not be able to stay in Night Rose for long if that's the case- then it hits Arwin. What if that is the case?John and Nexus agree to sacrifice John in this plan. John is the one who injected Nexus. Upon Simon's consciousness, he'll examine that and know that John purposely made her feel weak, putting John

"Wait, so you're asking one of us to go back here with the tools and the other to stall?" Rosa asks, slightly raising her voice in the sense of panic and fear. Timothy is still her husband, and she knows this but ever since what happened in the forest, he feels like a complete stranger.For Rosa, her love seems to be overtaken by fear.Right now, she extremely feels scared towards Timothy. The comfort she once felt turned into the darkness of the unknown, and she's afraid she will get sucked within.She opens up, “Timothy… he didn’t even mind killing Taflen. What makes you think he will even hesitate in killing me? I… betrayed him.”Mark calms Rosa down and says, “Timothy won’t hurt you. Trust me. Our plan will work.”Rosa calms down and takes a deep breath. Gloin adds, “Besides, Mark, you’ll be the one doing the stalling. Rosa will come back here with less threat than your intimidating

Timothy points at Cain with a sharp tone. He says, "That man is responsible for Rosa's escape. He brainwashed her!""Or she managed to see inside my head and understand that Pi is using you, and deep down, you know it." Cain protests, "Pi will never set any of those villagers free, nor will she give you the benefits. Pi and the rest will never see you as equal. To them, you are a threat and will always be. It won't be long until they treat you like how they treat Night Rose. Trust me, they will kill you.""You're wrong about that." Timothy responds, trying to convince himself that what he's doing is right, "Night Rose is vile and cruel. It's fitting to see the end.""And yet here you are on your journey to kill Taflen, who lived his life in peace after he left Night Rose. A bit ironic, don't you think?"Timothy finally gets the gist of what's Sinas is doing. Timothy says, "You're looking for Taflen too, right? That means you're going to kill him as well-"

Timothy is still in disarray. He could not believe it, he says to Rosa, “That can’t be… we all saw her. Sinas- you were there, you saw her die… didn’t you?”Sinas nods, "Exactly, so how is it possible, Rosa?"With a deep and sorrowful sigh, she answers, "Arwin came back alone. He… didn't make it, so we're assuming he gave his immortality in exchange for Arwin's life."“And where is Arwin?”Cain cuts him off again and says, “Weren’t you looking for Taflen?”“Well, that too.” He smirksRosa clears her throat, "I'll be leading the way, but… I'm going to need to tied Timothy up. Taflen and Gloin will be there… It's just a precaution, and to be fair, I don't trust you, Sinas. Whatever plan you have, it's always selfish."Timothy scoffs as he stays still being all tied up.Soon the three travel on the way back to the builder's village
The Night Rose Chapter 135
Timothy’s voice is shaking as he asks Rosa, “You’re leaving me?”Rosa didn’t say anything.As the commotion rises within Night Rose, a nostalgic smell of perspiration lingers in the air, and nervous gulps fill in the silence surrounding them. Every member of Night Rose is there to watch, hearts filled with excitement and that sudden rush of adrenaline.It's been a while- no; no one has dared to challenge Luther, let alone everyone, to a duel.And on top of that, a girl challenges him this time.Arwin lets down her dark hair and stands up with such grace and dignity in her posture. If she wore a hat, they would have easily seen Night Rose captain.But Arwin's a girl, and it would not have made any sense.Nexus wobbles as she stands across Arwin with eyes filled with confusion. Nexus is baffled. Arwin showing up this early is too risky- being a girl is not disguise enough to find the fact that she is Night

And although she's having the time of her life, it catches Luther's attention. He is in awe- surprised even, but he dare not show it. Luther cautiously looks around to see if anyone else noticed it. Still, none of them were with the captain of Night Rose long enough to notice.But for Luther, it causes him to be highly suspicious of this girl. Luther mutters to himself, “There’s no way. She fights and moves exactly the same way.”There’s only one way to find out for sure.Luther orders the crewmembers to fall back, fighting the urge to kill this girl. Luther chews on the inside of his cheeks in hopes of holding himself back. He says, "This is taking forever."“Oh, so you’re finally stepping down… captain?”"You know, you somehow piss me off, especially when you say that word."“And why’s that?” Arwin pretends to be clueless as she continues to press Luther’s bu

“That girl… did that?” Simon refuses to believe that someone is actually capable of beating Luther- and a girl at that! Simon suggests, “That girl probably sneaked in some dagger. She cheated-“"She didn't." Luther sighs, hating the fact that Arwin really won that fight, he didn't like admitting losing to her, but Luther continues, "I cheated by sneaking in that dagger, but she managed to get it from me and used it against me. I can't protest about something I brought upon myself.""If she beat you, then why didn't she say so? She seems to be the bragging type."Luther ponders, “Indeed. That’s the question. Could it really be…?”“What?”Luther hesitates, but in the end, he didn't tell Simon about his suspicions. Instead, Luther changes the topic. He says, "About Sinas, are the preparations complete?"Simon nods."I'm beginning to think that Sinas is behind all this. W
