Bab 54: STILL, KEEPING HIS GUARD UP

Zander laughed out loud when he heard what happened in the trial room. It had been a long time since he got a good laugh like this.

He knew Dawn was his final solution to face his brother's impulsiveness, but he didn't expect the woman would handle him so well, she did not only suggest a reasonable punishment, but she also appeased the elders and the advisors.

"Are you taking down your guard against her now?"
