Kapitel 333: Jayan (2)

The courtyard was silent, save for the ragged breaths of the broken elders and the soft hum of Lucavion's starlight blade. His words echoed in Jayan's mind, a cruel refrain that she could not escape. 

"Rat Jayan…" 

The name reverberated through her like the tolling of a bell, each repetition a hammer blow to her already crumbling spirit. Rat Jayan. A creature who scurried in the dark. A betrayer. A coward. The words seemed to coil around her, binding her in an unshakable truth. 

Her gaze remained fixed on Lucavion, whose form stood like an unrelenting shadow against the chaos around them. His dark eyes pierced her to the core, his expression betraying no pity, no sympathy. He was the harbinger of judgment she had earned—her choices brought him here, her sins had summoned him. 

And then, she saw it. 

A flicker of movement—a flash of white—cutting through the smoke-choked air.
