I looked at Alastair with squinted eyes and a twisted face. His face, his ears, cheeks, and neck turned red.
He turned and cleared his throat. "So that's what happened."
"You didn't want the queen to kill me, so you killed me instead," I stated
"That's what you're hung up on? You were her puppet and killed by some stranger!" Karmon exclaimed from behind us. He was keeping pace while pulling the weight of two people but still had the energy to argue.
I sighed. "Fine. We'll ignore that part. For now."
"What I don't understand was why Mansi was traveling with them." Karmon said, "Maven and I were traveling together, but why did your death affect her?"
"My death had affected many things. Her traveling with others is just the tip of the iceberg."
