Chapter 699: The Truth [2]
This was the moment of truth, and all those present at the table watched with serious expressions on their faces.
Eve, for the first time in her life, felt anxious.
This was a feeling she thought she would never experience, but currently, under the gazes of these people, it was unavoidable.
She slowly lifted her head, her crimson eyes meeting those seated at the table.
"I never betrayed humanity," she began. "Everything I did was a necessary evil."
Adrian’s face twitched as he tried to conceal his rage. It was safe to say that as the crown prince and future king of the Vermilion Kingdom, he was the most affected by Eve’s actions.
Of course, the citizens suffered too, but unlike him, they didn’t carry the burden of leadership.
Controlling his urge to lash out, he slumped back in his seat, watching Eve with a blank expression.
Meanwhile, the necromancer continued, "As the daughter of the Demon Emperor, I had two choices," she spoke in a calm voice. "It was either I slaughter every single person or I take out only the top."
"By the top, you mean the hero ranks?" Bridget asked, a small frown on her face.
Despite possessing the same class as this mysterious beauty, she had been easily overwhelmed.
And if not for the timely intervention of Jack, she would have long been dead.
