Although the voice was weak, Kazaar recognized it immediately. He quickly ran over and with the help of a strange glowing plant growing in the prison, he saw the figure speaking in the dim light.
"Annie, is that you Annie!?"
Kazaar was answered by a series of rapid breaths. The shadow on the cross in the cell seemed to be trying hard to restrain something. After three or four seconds, it spoke again in a feeble voice:
"...Freya, she... she betrayed us. She framed us, saying we were monsters. Quickly go out... warn the others... don't believe anything the Saintess says... ugh..."
Annie's words verified Kazaar's previous guess, and the next sentence was even more like a bolt from the blue.
"From the beginning... Freya had been deceiving us... She killed the Hero with cruel means..."
Killed the Hero?
