The Valkyrie Returns and Slays (Raven) novel Chapter 322

Chapter 322 So Sneaky

He said, “They were too scared to risk it. I’m the only one who dared to come.”

Raven’s gaze landed on his slightly reddened ears.

“Don’t you know your ears always give you away when you lie, Hiemaly?” she teased. “If your ears weren’t such a dead giveaway, I might’ve believed you just a little.”

Hiemaly felt Raven’s gaze land on him, and his ears turned an even deeper shade of red.

Still, his strikingly handsome face remained as cool and aloof as ever. “What? You don’t believe me?”

Raven couldn’t help but smirk as she watched Hiemaly stubbornly cling to his act, even though she had already exposed his lie.

But considering how Hiemaly, God only knew by what means, had fought off the others and risked his life to reinvent himself to find her, she granted him the courtesy of a nod. “I believe you. You never lie. How could I not trust you? Once I’m home, I’ll show them the consequences of not daring to come to me.”

Hiemaly finally let out a quiet sigh of relief when he heard that.

At the same time, a faint, almost imperceptible flicker of pride appeared in his icy gaze.

It was only then that Raven remembered Cassian.

She quickly turned around, grabbed Cassian, who was staring at the ground like he was trying to find a crack big enough to hide, and dragged him in front of Hiemaly.

Then, she said, “Hiemaly, come here. Let me introduce you. He is Cassian, the one I came to this world for.”

He had thought his sister had given up on her original goal and moved on to someone else. Never in his wildest dreams did he expect Cassian to be the man she had risked her life to find after starting a new life.

He gave Cassian a sharp, assessing look, then turned back to Raven and asked, “This is the man you risked your life for? He’s so…”
