Chapter 256: The Protective Brothers

"Please forgive me, Your Majesty." Torin bowed his back for the umpteenth time before Matthew and Ruby. He was terrified that the lycan king would punish him and Gerald for acting disrespectfully earlier. "I will improve my attitude in the future."

Matthew was too lazy to talk to someone like Torin, so Ruby replied to him instead, "You can redeem your mistake by forging a good sword for our son."

Torin nodded quickly. "I will do that! You have nothing to worry about."

Ruby gave a slight smile in return, then walked toward the door. However, before she left the shop, her eyes accidentally caught sight of a beautiful dagger displayed at the front of the shop.

The pommel held a single, exquisite gemstone-a deep sapphire that shimmered like a captured piece of the night sky. The juxtaposition of the dark blade and the vibrant gem created a stunning contrast, fascinating Ruby's eye.
