Chapter 55: Victor (4)
Apollonia’s mind raced with thoughts—was Kylion her potential rival or her most valuable ally? Could she still have him under his control if he were to amass power in the future?
Amidst those contemplations, an echo of the boy’s voice suddenly pierced her heart, along with his trembling voice and tear-filled eyes.
“Sister, please save me.”
She snapped back to reality and looked at Kylion in the eyes. His eyes were filled with bravery in the face of death; he faced the jackalope head-on unwaveringly as to accept any result that might come out of this. There were no longer any proper weapons at his disposal, and the monster was too close to him to try and evade.
“Is this the end?” the emperor muttered, his words barely audible except to Apollonia, who stood by his side.
Grrrr!
