Chương 116: Confrontation

What had just happened?

It took Lumielle a couple of minutes to comprehend. Her eyes soaking in the scene. Asterias was on his one knee, his sword skewered into the ground. He looked flustered, surprised as Allard looked equally shocked.

The words of the High Priest Jenoix rang in her ears. That snake must have done something. She kept her composure as the crowd although confused still sang praises of Allard. Of course, they would, the people were puppets and by being fed information they could be controlled with the utmost ease. Worry coiled inside of her stomach, her eyes going to Asterias who stood up. He gave Allard a charming smile as he waved off his hand.

He looked fine, and yet, she couldn't ignore it.
