Capítulo 316: 316 last chance

[Donald's Perspective]

"I apologize, Your Majesty, it's not that I intend to dilly-dally, it's just that Anthony's condition is critical and dangerous right now, and I'm not sure if I should take a risk for him."

Before I could open my mouth to lighten the mood, Benjamin replied urgently, as if he were concerned that I might have misunderstood him.

I looked at Benjamin, softened my serious expression, and said, "Speak plainly."

Upon hearing this, Benjamin didn't delay any further and expressed all his thoughts to me straightforwardly. Anthony's escape from the enemy's tight and perverse torture wasn't due to luck nor the enemy's underestimation and carelessness!

He was indeed confirmed dead by the enemy and discarded as a corpse; only to then regain a trace of consciousness by his incredibly strong willpower, hanging onto his last breath to get the message to the Royal City. And now, to use Benjamin's words, it was just half a breath that was still being sustained.
