Chapitre 75: Her Friend

She inwardly cursed herself for being unable to express the full extent of her desires - for Prince Ezekiel to successfully kill Devon.

"You didn't answer my question at all, Tarah," Ezekiel interjected, his tone firm as he pressed the issue. "So you willingly risked my safety just so I could become powerful? You're willing to endanger my life knowing this might not work out and could even put me in harm's way?"

Tarah offered him a reassuring smile. "It may not work, but I'm confident it won't endanger your life, Your Majesty," she replied, her voice steady despite her inner turmoil.
