章 248: The calm before the storm

"Please, young master, save Miss Dante from House Morisse (cough)"

The old man coughed up more and his face started to turn paler. The stab wound on his body was worse than Knight thought as it pierced the old man's vital blood arteries.

"Uncle Fin!"

The old man overcame the pain and took Lia's hand

"Young master, I know its too much to ask, but please"

Knight sighed inwards and felt pity for the old man as he reached out and took her hands.

"She will be safe with me, old man, you can rest in peace" 

When the old man heard Knight's words, he let out a gentle smile as tears rolled out of his eyes looking at Lia.

"Don't cry Miss Dante, you need to be strong. I'm sorry that this old man failed to protect you but my soul will always be with you"

"UNCLE FIN! DON'T LEAVE ME!"
