Bab 632: Erupted

The first figure was none other than the vizier to the sovereign, Niall! Niall's expression currently mirrored exactly what he was feeling: desperation!

He was desperate beyond measure. The bet he made with the sovereign was the only thing constantly playing in his mind.

Niall was desperate. He was frightened!

So much so that he decided to do something he never thought he would ever do—cheat.

'I'll just use a little bit more power,' he thought.

It was disgraceful, something that would make him unable to lift his head proudly ever again. But Niall didn't want to be a slave to Atticus, especially not after he had tried to kill the boy! Who knew for sure how he'd react?
