章節 474: Goodnight... brother.

Torches flickered against the oppressive darkness, casting eerie shadows that danced like spectres on the walls. The air was heavy with the weight of unspoken words.

He had mustered all his courage to ask the King for permission to leave the palace with his family and to abandon the life of nobility that had once seemed so desirable. But it wasn't just about leaving; it was about setting his son free. Free from everything. As for Harvey's health, he would find the best physician to nurse him back to health.
