บท 281: Origins (Part 1)

"Hold up…"

Floral, who had remained quiet during the explanation of the plan to incinerate Ravenwood Forest, finally spoke up just as William anticipated.

The suddenness of the situation prevented William from sending away the Holy Tree Duke of Emerald Province after he entered the room. Instead, he allowed her to listen in on the conversation.

Despite feeling unsure about revealing all the details in front of an outsider, William realized that since she had already heard some of it, he may as well let her hear everything.

He figured that as the ruler of Ravenwood, she might provide some valuable information.

"What's the issue?" he asked.

Floral was taken aback by William's words, struggling to find the right words.

She stood on the sidelines, silently listening in on the conversation. The usual composure and calmness she exuded with her strength, was now gone. She had lost it completely.
