Chapitre 239: What other lies do you intend to utter with that silver tongue of yours

"You were once a trusted companion and you have since become entangled in a web of circumstances that have led us to this moment."

Sophia took a step closer to the cell bars, her expression softened.

Arnulp, his wrists in shackles behind him and linked to the wall, stared fiercely at Sophia Mary as she drew closer.

The guards remained vigilant, hands ready on their weapons, uncertain about the intentions of this unanticipated visitor to the prisoner awaiting execution.

"I had hoped we would meet under different circumstances, as family rather than adversaries. But I suppose I can't ask for much, can I?" Sophia sighed softly, her voice tinged with sadness.

Sophia Mary walked closer, carefully placing Lavatri's necklace between the bars so Arnulp could reach it.

"Lavatri gave this to me just before she sacrificed her noble life for mine, this unworthy one," Sophia explained quietly, her eyes reflecting a mix of gratitude and sorrow.
