Aurelia held her breath. Her stiff limbs quivered, and she stared at the officer for a while before abruptly avoiding

He said that she looked familiar… He might frequently patrol the slums and have kept his eyes on the nomads.
Aurelia’s face was hard to forget.
She bit her lips and blinked her big eyes. She was usually bubbling with ideas, but she was now at a loss.

Cordelia went over to tug Neil’s clothes.
