章 45: Chapter 45 – Delayed Justice

Mana moved in front of Jules protectively, but Raven was even faster. He caught Queen Sora's hand, but he was still a child, after all, and she was an adult. The flame dagger pierced his shoulder.

"Raven!" Mana and Jules cried out in alarm.

"Daddy!" Azar shouted.

King Jaren threw out a powerful wave of magic and Queen Sora was imprisoned in a cage of earth.

She laughed hysterically, until Grandma cast a calming spell on her.

"Papa! I can't heal him!" Jules called King Jaren, panicked.

The adults immediately gathered around Raven, who had lost his consciousness by now.

Grandpa cursed and pulled out the flame dagger from Raven's shoulder.

"Is it poisoned?" Mana asked him urgently.

Grandpa shook his head. "It's not," he said, with a heavy sighed. "It's worse."

Grandma's eyes widened in recognition as she looked at the dagger in Grandpa's hand. "Is that…is that the hellfire dagger?! How could it be in Sora's hands?!"

King Jaren cursed loudly.
