Chapter 271: SHOCKING NEWS FROM DRAEGO

LORD NIKO'S POV

"Why the fuck is Jasper not back, I am going crazy ?" I cursed as I paced back and forth across the richly woven carpet, my mind a turbulent storm of anticipation and frustration. Each step echoed sharply against the stone floor, a rhythmic reminder of the urgency of the situation. My gaze kept darting toward the door, the heavy, iron-bound wood that had become the focal point of my restless waiting.

Enforcer Jasper had been dispatched to Draego village two days ago with crucial news. I stopped my pacing and ran a hand through my hair, the motion a frustrated gesture.

The news Jasper was bringing was of great significance, news that would determine the peace of the realm. The stakes were high, and every minute that ticked by without a word felt like a heavy weight pressing down on my shoulders.
