章 233: I am sorry but I cannot change the past…

Ragnar extended his hand to restrain Lea, his grip firm yet gentle, preventing her from advancing towards Arnulp. His steely gaze remained fixed on Arnulp, a silent warning etched in his expression.

Lea hesitated at first, her brows furrowing in frustration, but ultimately complied with Ragnar's unspoken command. She cast a fleeting glance at Arnulp, her eyes betraying a mixture of concern and confusion.

Arnulp, intent on pursuing Lea further, frozen in his tracks upon seeing Ragnar unsheathe his sword.

The moonlight gleamed off the polished steel, casting an ominous glint as Ragnar leveled the blade towards him. The tension in the air was palpable, thick with unspoken words and unresolved emotions.

Arnulp's hand hovered uncertainly near the hilt of his own sword, his gaze flickering between Ragnar and Lea, searching for answers in their guarded expressions.
