Shadow Slave novel Chapter 2496

Chapter 2496 Between The Cracks

With Saint seemingly falling into a daze, Sunny threw a glance into the rearview mirror and studied Morgan for a few moments.

The Princess of Valor… looked different from how she had been before.

Morgan had always given off a sharp and deadly aura, and all her actions had been calculated and precise. She had carried herself with the reserved elegance of a born noble, maintaining a neat appearance in all circumstances. She had been a person who preferred to maintain strict control of both herself and everything around her at all times.

That Morgan… would have never allowed herself to sprawl on the backseat of a ramshackle PTV in a perfectly comfortable pose, not even trying to maintain the rules of decorum.

She was still sharp and dangerous, just much more… relaxed and at ease.

As if she could not be bothered to care anymore.

…Granted, Morgan Steel managed to look elegant and like she owned the place even when wearing a nurse uniform and lounging in a rusty PTV. It was just that she brimmed with a decadent kind of elegance now instead of her usual refined poise.

Sunny sighed.

"So, why did Mordret come here, and why did you follow him to Mirage City?"

All the pieces to the odd puzzle of the Great Mirror were held by three people: Mordret, the other Mordret, and Morgan… the children of the late King of Swords.

'King of Swords…'

Sunny tensed.

He was not going to receive two "you killed my father" speeches in one day, was he?

Luckily, Morgan seemed entirely indifferent to the fact that she was sitting next to her father's killer. Hearing his question, she lingered for a few moments, then smiled.

"You got it all wrong… Sunless. It wasn't me who followed Mordret here. It was the other way around."

Sunny raised an eyebrow.

"You entered the Great Mirror first?"

Morgan nodded.

"Back then, after you and Nephis killed Ki Song… and my father… things were in utter chaos for the first few months, weren't they?"

Sunny nodded. The first months of the newly established Human Domain had indeed been hectic. After all, it was not easy to build a new world order on the ruins of an old one… luckily, they had received a lot of help.

Ironically enough, the Legacy Clans had played an important part in putting the world back on track. The government had been nothing short of instrumental, as well, with Jet mobilizing the great bureaucracies of its various arms to smooth out the transition.

Effie had taken control of the Sword Domain and Bastion. Kai had taken over the Song Domain and Ravenheart…

Morgan had spent those first few months there with him, helping the charming archer build a solid foundation for his future rule.

Then, she disappeared without a trace.

Sunny frowned.

"What about them?"

Morgan shrugged lazily.

"While you were busy conquering the world… well, Nephis was busy conquering the world. You were busy playing dead. Congratulations on your resurrection, by the way."

Sunny smiled.
