Chapter 208: The Queen of the Golden City

By the time Kayden finished his insane lore dump, the clock had struck midnight, and Kaisen felt like he'd been hit by a truck full of WTF moments.

Slumping back in his chair, he tried to process everything.

And that sword, Lightless, was like something out of a fever dream—it helped him win the first big showdown with the Authority.

Kaisen couldn't decide if he was impressed or just horrified by how far his brother had come while he was out of the picture.
