Chapter 575: The Questions That Refuse to Answer

Annabeth was still chuckling rather maniacally.
Eldric cleared his throat.
It was a small sound, but it carried.

Ronan glanced at him, then at Annabeth, and shrugged.
Annabeth let out a breath that sounded halfway between a laugh and disbelief. She raised a hand and wiped lightly at the corner of her eye.
"Sorry," she said, her voice softer now. "I didn't mean to… do that."
"No," Ronan said immediately. "Please, by all means, continue. That was entertaining."
Sophia snorted.
Annabeth shook her head, though her smile didn't quite disappear.
"It's just…" she started, then paused, collecting her thoughts. "I cannot believe this."
Her gaze moved to Sophia again.
"To think that the person they have all been following…" she exhaled. "And the real one is standing right here."
