Chapter 815 The Wolf Pendant
Malkor’s first wife in his younger years was named Aguna.
Finis
Born into the old nobility of Nordia, she had vanished during the internal strife of the House of Harrow.
Not many in Kingsport knew the rumors about her. But the Crimson Lantern was deeply tied to the Hou of Harrow, so its guards naturally recognized the name.
The leader’s eyes landed on the man’s face, flashing with suspicion and shock.
“Who exactly are you…”
The man pulled a wolf-head pendant from his coat. Once he was sure they had all gotten a good look, he tucked it away.
“Now, can you get lost?” he asked coldly.
The pursuers’ faces drained of color in unison.
They might not recognize the pendant itself, but the ancient wolf-head crest couldn’t be faked.
Paired with the man’s mention of Aguna just a moment ago, they didn’t dare to block his path.
After all, they were merely watchdogs. They had no business digging into the House of Harrow’s affairs.
The leader forced a smile “Ah, so you’re a nobleman. Pardon my blindness. It’s just that there’s been some trouble at the Crimson Lantern tonight, and Madam Ursula ordered…”
“If Ursula wants to investigate, tell her to ask me herself,” the man cut him off.
With that, he carried the person in his arms and walked straight out.
The pursuers stood frozen in place, none daring to stop him.
Only when they were out of the alley did the man keep his voice low. “Can you stand?”
Flowira didn’t answer. She violently yanked her hand away and stumbled back two steps. Pressing a gold hairpin to her chest, her eyes were full of caution.
“Who are you?”
This man had appeared out of nowhere. His face bore a striking resemblance to Ronan, and he had even scared off the Crimson Lantern’s thugs with a single sentence.
She had no idea who he really was.
Sensing her guard was up, the man didn’t step closer. He simply turned toward the shadows,
“Follow me.”
Flowita stayed put.

The man stopped and looked back at her, a hint of impatience in his eyes.
“Elowen is up ahead.”
Flowira’s head snapped up.
“Who did you say?”
“Lady Elowen,” the man replied.
At those words, the tension gripping Flowira’s body instantly faded by half.
Still clutching the gold hairpin, she finally dragged her injured ankle and followed him step by step.
An inconspicuous carriage was parked at the end of the dark alley.
The moment the curtain lifted. Flowira spotted Elowen right away.
Finis
Even on such a cold, chaotic night, it felt as if she had suddenly been pulled out of that filthy cage and back into the world of the living.
“My lady…”
Flowira’s voice choked up.
Elowen immediately reached out and helped her into the carriage.
“Where are you hurt?”
Flowira had been holding it together, but upon hearing Elowen’s question, her tears fell instantly.
She gripped Elowen’s sleeve tightly. “I thought… I thought I’d never…”
Elowen held her freezing hands.
“You’re safe now.”
Flowira cried even harder, but quickly raised her hand and wiped the tears away fiercely.
“Let’s get out of here first,” Elowen coaxed.
Flowira murmured an agreement. Elowen called out, “Thomas, let’s go.”
Only then did Flowira realize the man who saved her was named Thomas.
Thomas didn’t say a word. He jumped onto the carriage, and it soon weaved through a few dark alleys. heading toward Valessa’s estate.
Valessa had been waiting at the side door early on.
She had been trying to stay calm, but the moment she saw Flowtra step out of the carriage, her eyes immediately turned red.
Flowira!”

Flowira looked up.
“Aunt Valessa…”
Just two words were enough to nearly send Valessa’s tears over the edge. She rushed forward and pulled the girl into a tight hug.
A moment later, she let her go and checked her up and down.
“Where are you hurt? Did they torture you? Did Ronan touch you? Did those b*stards at the Crimson Lantern humiliate you?”
