Chương 48: Assault in the Dark Night

Zanuba, with a determined gaze, led a small group of elites sneaking through the dark corridors of the palace. The moonlight reflecting from the large windows provided little illumination, but it was enough for them to remain hidden in the shadows.

Quickly, he signaled for the troops to halt as they approached the main guard in front of the large doors leading to the Reeve's secret meeting room.

Piere, who had been loyal to Zanuba, stood calm but ready. The young man held his katana in a manner that suggested he was ready to fight at any moment. His face showed an unusual calmness for someone his age, but to Piere, this was a crucial battle to protect his friend.
