A Villain's Will to Survive

Even in the desert, where a week wouldn’t be enough for every minister in the grand hall to handle such a task together, Sophien resolved it alone in a single day. The Empress’s mastery of statecraft was beyond comparison.

However, the process was not without incident—there was some chaos, and Quay’s defense mechanism, namely the murderous intent, manifested once more.

“It’s happening more often now,” I muttered.

While Sophien slept in the hush of night, I stepped out into the desert beyond the command tent to check my wounds, and fortunately, the body of an Iron Man could still hold out because I had maintained constant vigilance, never knowing when Sophien’s murderous intent might switch on again.

I wrapped a bandage around my arm, nothing more than a rough treatment for what was clearly a serious fracture, but the bandage wasn’t ordinary and was enough.
