Chapter 371 The Defiant Rescue A Sister’s Last Choice
Veyric City
The Night Before Execution
The sky was overcast, heavy with dark clouds that shrouded the moon, obscuring the light that should have illuminated the night and creating an oppressive atmosphere, evoking a sense of foreboding that hung in the air. Jeanne stood outside the royal prison, wearing a worn gray farmer's cloak, a testament to the arduous paths she had traveled. Her face appeared calm, yet within her, waves of uncertainty crashed violently, almost overwhelming her resolve. Her eyes, though shadowed by the night, sparkled with an unsettling mix of determination and despair, embodying the finality of her decision.

But your strength is not to make them submit.
Your strength is to protect.
