Chapter 62: Farewell (3)
“Your Highness!” Syd paled as he laid eyes on Apollonia..
The leader of the assassins was already pointing at Apollonia’s head before she could even move. She had no chance of getting out of this situation unscathed, with only three paces between them.
“Farewell.” The leader fixed his gaze on Apollonia once more, preparing to swing his sword downward.
However, before he could execute his deadly strike, a bloodied dagger pierced through his forehead, causing him to collapse without uttering a sound.
Flop.
‘No…’
Apollonia narrowly survived the assassin’s blade, but her heart sank as she realized who had thrown that dagger. Turning her head towards its origin, she saw Syd, drenched in blood, barely standing and empty-handed.
“Your Highness, hurry… urgh!”
Syd’s voice urgently reached her, but he collapsed to his knees before he could finish his plea.
“NOOO!” Apollonia tearfully screamed.
