บท 440: Returning To The Castle

"Ahhh!!" Neal moaned out in agony as the acrid scent of burnt flesh filled his nostrils. The pain overwhelmed him, eventually pushing him into unconsciousness.

Watching this scene unfold, Orion smiled with satisfaction as he withdrew his hand and deactivated his gift. 

He turned and walked in the direction of Queen Selene and the others. 

Coming to a stop in front of them, Orion glanced at the shattered carriage door and the numerous lifeless bodies strewn about, including the royal guards, the fallen Starforged Knights, and their attackers. His gaze finally settled on Queen Selene, who appeared poised, waiting for him to speak first.

"Considering we're the only ones left, why don't we all ride together in one carriage to ensure safety until we reach the castle?" Orion suggested, his eyes briefly flicking toward Princess Crystalia, who held a strange intense glint in her eyes.

Hearing his proposal, Queen Selene nodded in agreement.
