Chapitre 452: Fratricide

*Thud, thud, thud…*

Perhaps it was due to the recent recovery of their impaired hearing, but the sudden footsteps that echoed in the dark prison were frightening.

The ailing Royal Guards reacted quickly. Everyone immediately extinguished their torches and silenced their breaths.

'Pursuers?

'So soon?'

It was the first thought that rose in Thales' head who had been hunted continuously for half a month.

*Thud, thud, thud…*

Beldin made a gesture. All the guards moved quickly and quietly towards the sides of the tunnel. They found spots suitable for them to lay ambushes. Their weapons were in their hands, and they were ready for combat.

Thales was pushed behind Barney Jr., and even Quick Rope was pulled into the corner by Bruley.

*Thud, thud, thud…*

The footsteps drew closer by the minute, and the corner of the tunnel gradually lit up.
