Shadow Slave novel Chapter 1557

Chapter 1557 Terrifying Existence

Cassie turned sharply and stared at him, her mask of composure barely holding. "You… you know why I did what I did. I was young and naive, back then. Stupid, and helpless. I… know better now."

Sunny raised his hands and clapped them, applauding her. "Good for you! Really. What stunning growth. But…"

He lingered for a few moments, and then said through gritted teeth:

"But, you know… you never even apologized for taking my freedom away. So, I guess, you aren't that burdened by having done that."

She flinched. The cold winds rose, making the sails of the ketch flutter. Nevertheless, it stayed in place, its bow lodged into the icy shore of the desolate land.

Cassie remained silent for a while. Then, she said, her voice trembling slightly:

"But... I did. I did apologize."

Sunny raised an eyebrow.

"Somehow, I don't remember. And I would have remembered something like that. When did you ever apologize for what you had done to me?"

The blind girl hesitated for a few moments, and then said quietly:

"It was… right after we escaped from the Soul Devourer. When we were sailing across the dark sea on the boat Nephis made."

Stunned, Sunny stared at her for a few moments. Then, his face was twisted by a grimace of anger. "What? What the hell did you say? You apologized… in advance? Almost an entire year before we stormed the Crimson Spire? What kind of crap is that?! Does it make sense, in that twisted little head of yours?!" Subjected to his anger, Cassie lowered her head. Then, however, a cold expression appeared on her face. She looked up, facing him again. "Sure… yes, Sunny. You're right. That was cowardly of me."

A fragile smile appeared on her face. "But what is the worth of saying sorry? It wouldn't have changed anything. Words are worthless. If someone is truly sorry, they should express it through their actions, don't you think?"

Sunny chuckled. "And what have you done to redeem your mistake? Huh? What can you even do? It can't be undone!"

Cassie remained silent for a while, and then suddenly pierced him with a fierce gaze. Even though he knew that she could not see, at that moment, Sunny did not remember it. Her voice was a little hoarse when she spoke:

"...Says who?"

He was slightly taken aback. Glancing at her with a frown, Sunny raised an eyebrow. "What do you mean?"

Cassie smiled bitterly. "Who says that it can't be undone? Who says that it's impossible?"

She shook her head.

"So what if it's impossible? I'll do it anyway."

Sunny stared at her in bewilderment. "What the hell are you talking about?"
