Capítulo 292: Can a demon change its ways?

Syryn played the ruthless tyrant on that day. Silisia was held hostage by him. Staying meant death, eacaping also meant death. This, several of the novel families tried to slip past the eyes of the Leviathan and a few had. But there was no escape even then.

Coercing the sage to cooperate with him, Syryn had hypnotised the guards and forced them to capture any noble mers that made it out of the kingdom. The commoners were left untouched by his ire because they hadn't directly participated in Syryn's execution. 

The escapees were caught, rounded up, and locked inside the dungeons.Nobody was allowed to leave or move a finger beyond the borders of the kingdom without Syryn's permission. He was hated and cursed at by the mers but it only served to amuse him more.
