Chương 257: Cursed Child Needs To Die

"We have been waiting for you, Gregor," he heard his father say in an apathetic tone. "Good that you are finally here."

Shanel immediately turned her head to look at her husband. Her teary eyes were asking him to do something. "Gregor…"

Gregor simply glanced at her without a word. He then turned his attention back to the man on the throne, and despite the anger in his chest, he had no choice but to bow his head. 

The emotionless voice of the King echoed inside the throne hall once more.

"I hope I have given you enough time to spend with your deceased wife."

His head still lowered, Gregor almost choked to force out a polite-sounding response. 

"I thank…your benevolence…" 

"What happened was unfortunate, and as your father, I feel bad that a precious life has been lost, but nothing is more important than our kingdom and its people. I do believe you understand why I made such a choice."

"...I understand."
