Chương 81: Chapter 81: Passion Awakens, Subduing Ada

Ada slumped against the door, glaring at John with tears welling in her eyes. The suppressed grievances in her heart finally surged forth.

She could no longer hold back and broke down in tears. "I've been asleep for a thousand years. My family is gone, my country is gone. Why do you have to humiliate me like this? If it weren't for the hope of restoring my kingdom, what reason would I have to live?"

John opened his mouth but didn't know how to comfort her. He realized he had never truly understood Ada.

As a princess of the Gates Empire, her life must have been carefree, well-protected by those around her.

To be thrust into a thousand-year slumber, only to wake up to such devastating changes—her pain must be unimaginable.
