บท 249: A Purpose (Ch.249)

Neveah understood that, but what did all of this even have to do with King Jian? Did he not stand to gain the most if Neveah failed to qualify as a rider?

That would mean she would have to give up both Menarx and Xenon and Neveah felt that was the best case scenario for the dragon king.

"We both know that is what he would want." King Jian added.

He...? Was it silly that Neveah was not certain which 'he' King Jian was referring to?

Neveah shook her head quickly, deciding not to ponder over it. There was only so much her mind could handle and she did not wish to handle this now.

Whatever it was the dragon king meant, the only thing that was clear was the fact that he was not asking, he was giving an order.

And as much as Neveah was tempted to tell him off, she admitted his words were not unreasonable. She would do no good sitting here by Menarx's side in he state.

"I understand, Your Grace." Neveah finally gave in with a small bow.
