Assassin's Chronicle Chapter 64

Chapter 64
"Anfey!" Sante called as he walked out of the forest . He didn't need to call out for the rest of the group to spot the two girls behind him .
"Anfey, they said that they wanted to talk to you," Sante said .
The two sisters walked over and stopped a few feet away from the camp . The older one whispered something into Shally's ears, and the Shally stopped . The older girl walked over to Anfey .
Anfey and Christian glanced at each other, and they both stood up to greet them . Christian was confused, but Anfey was nervous . His brain was working fast to understand why she was there
"Hello, why are you here?" Anfey asked .
"You see, we are all out of food . You must have some prepared . I want to buy some food from you," the older girl said, her expression cold . She was speaking with Anfey, but her eyes were focused on Christian, as if she did not want to look at him .
Anfey chuckled . He disliked women who were too full of themselves . They did not have enough food supplies even for themselves, and even if they did, he would not have given them to her . He had no use of money in this place, and he did not need it .
"I know you do not have a lot of supplies . I have twenty-three coins, and you can have it all . I don't need much…" The girl hesitated . "Even if it's just a few sausages . "
Anfey blinked, and his dislike for her dissipated . One single coin could buy them a dozen or more sausages in a city . Now she was willing to spend twenty coins for just a few . Clearly she knew the price of food in this place, and was not an unreasonable person .
Anfey thought about it and waved Feller over . Feller walked over and fished out a handful of coins and handed it to him .
Anfey took the coins and held them out . "We don't need coins," he said, smiling, "we need food . I was hoping to buy some from you . "

"Is that so? I apologize for disturbing you," the older girl said coldly . There was no change in her expression, as if she had known that she would be faced with rejection . She turned and began walking away .
Anfey was shocked again . He had it all thought out . He was going to reject her request at first . If she begged him or asked again more earnestly, he could act like he was moved and agree to help her . This way he could try to bridge the gap between the two of them . He hadn't considered that the older girl would just leave .
Anfey shook his head . Judging from her earlier request, she was a reasonable person, or else he would not have come up with his original plan . On the other hand, the girl's attitude was not what he would expect in someone pleading for help .
Anfey was a very logical person, but dealing with a girl's changing mood needs experience and consideration . Anfey had never really loved a girl, so he could not figure out the girl's change in emotions quickly and accurately .
Suzanna made her attitude cold and unapproachable because of Anfey . What happened the night before was too much of a blow to her pride . Then, she was hanging on the tree, and was humiliated to the point that she considered just ending her life . She could look for help for the sake of her sister, but she would never beg in front of Anfey . She was trying to protect her remaining dignity .
Seeing that Suzanna was leaving, Christian looked at Anfey and tried to get him to stop her .
Anfey pretended not to see Christian's acts . There was no way he would try to stop her . Remembering what had happened the night before, he figured that if he tried to stop her, he would be met with force .
"Miss, please wait," Christian called out after the girl after realizing that Anfey was not about to stop her . "Can I please have your name?"
"Suzanna . Nice meeting you," the girl stopped and said . She had to stop . She saw Shally's disappointed eyes and was very conflicted . Must she returned and beg for help?
"Hello, greetings, I'm Christian . " Seeing that Suzanna's attitude had softened, Christian felt a boost in confidence and smiled warmly . "We can maybe discuss what you just asked about . "
"Really? Thank you so much," Suzanna said gladly . She smiled softly and said, "I do not ask for much . I only need two sausages . "
Anfey stood nearby and was very beaten by this . This was the first time he had seen Suzanna smile . He felt defeated that Suzanna treated Christian differently . He wanted to be a good person, but she wasn't giving him the chance . Was Christian really more likable than he?

"Of course, of course . There is just one thing I don't understand," Christian said . "Two sausages would only last for a day, wouldn't it? What about tomorrow? The day after that? How would you survive in the forest?"
"That is my problem," Suzanna said honestly .
"I have an idea that may solve your problem . If you're interested, why don't we find a quiet place to discuss it?"
"Alright," Suzana said after a few moments of consideration .
Christian and Suzanna walked over to the forest and began discussing Christian's idea . Sante and Feller tried to eavesdrop on them and come back and tell Anfey about what they had heard . In the end, Anfey had to give them each a sword sheath to keep them from spreading rumors .
After a long time, Christian and Suzanna returned with Shally walking behind them . Christian winked at Anfey victoriously, then coughed a few times . "This is Suzanna," he announced . "From today, she will be joining us . She will face any future danger together with us, and, of course, we will protect Shally from any danger . "
"Ah, welcome, welcome," Sante called out .
Everyone else followed his lead . Suzanna glanced around the group and said shyly, "We will be friends from now on . I will do my best to help this team . "
"Suzanna, why don't you join Anfey's team?" Christian said .
"Wait . Christian, I can follow your orders, but never his," Suzanna said, pointing at Anfey . She was the highest ranked, and the most powerful, but she didn't try to take the role of the leader . She knew that the combined power of the mages was more powerful than hers . She had stated from the beginning that she will follow Christian's orders .
Christian hesitated, then said, "Suzanna, you should know that a team cannot have two leaders . Everyone here must follow his orders . If you cannot do that, our deal is off the table . "
Suzanna stared at him in silence . After a few moments, she narrowed her eyes and stared at Anfey . "Fine," she hissed .

Suzanna stared at him in silence . After a few moments, she narrowed her eyes and stared at Anfey . "Fine," she hissed .
"What do you mean by fine? Will you leave? Or will you follow my orders?" Anfey asked . He wasn't worried . She had already decided to cooperate with them, and wouldn't change her mind easily . He would not let anyone challenge his position as the leader of the group .
"Fine," she said, "I will follow your orders . "
"Alright then," Anfey said, "I welcome you . "
Suzanna turned her head . Following Anfey's orders was a necessity for joining the team, but personally she hated him and did not want to talk to him .
Shally walked over and stared at him, her eyes filled with hope . Anfey waved Feller over, who gave Shally some sausage and bread . Shally practically grabbed the food from his hands and began eating it . It seemed like the sausages from a few days ago did not satisfy her hunger .
Shally's actions made Suzanna look away in embarrassment . This showed that she did not do a good job as a sister .
Anfey sighed . He took a goblet from his ring . Moments later it was filled with water . He was only an apprentice, but even he could manage to gather magic . He handed the goblet to Shally .
"Thank you," Shally said timidly . She smiled at him sweetly, but because she was not familiar with him, she appeared shy .
A magical surge approached them . "When did you get here? Took me a while to find you," Riska said as he landed on the ground .
"Riska, let me introduce you . This is Suzanna . She is very powerful," Christian said .
Riska noticed the two girls and blinked in shock . He turned to looked at Anfey, who nodded . He turned and smiled at Suzanna . "Greetings," he said, "I'm Riska . Welcome to the team . "
"Nice meeting you," Suzanna said, smiling . She was clearly very easy going . Everyone could make her smile, except for Anfey .
"Riska, let me introduce you . This is Suzanna . She is very powerful," Christian said .
Riska noticed the two girls and blinked in shock . He turned to looked at Anfey, who nodded . He turned and smiled at Suzanna . "Greetings," he said, "I'm Riska . Welcome to the team . "
"Nice meeting you," Suzanna said, smiling . She was clearly very easy going . Everyone could make her smile, except for Anfey .
"Riska, did you find a good place to camp?" Anfey asked .
"No . I went into the swamps again . It was huge . I changed direction a few times but couldn't find the edge, so I had to come back," Riska said .
"Are we leaving here?" Suzanna asked .
"Yes," Sante told her .
"Great . We have to leave in seven days," Suzanna said .
"Why?" Christian asked curiously .
"Do you know why you can't find any magic beasts here?"
