Theras's eyes slowly moved away from Klaus and settled upon me. For several seconds, he simply looked at me in silence, as though comparing the person standing before him with the one he had encountered previously.
A faint smile eventually appeared on his face.
"So it was you."
His gaze swept over me and then toward Aurora before returning to me. "I must admit, I did not expect this outcome. You were barely a transcendent back then and now you emerge having gathered all seven portions of the contract, only to turn around and abolish the agreement entirely. That is considerably more troublesome than I anticipated."
There was no anger in his voice. If anything, he sounded amused.
He gave a soft chuckle before glancing toward the empty space where the contract had disappeared.
