Chapter 222: Out Of The Shadows, Into The Light
[KAWAI]
"My apologies for all that you had to go through, Akila. I hope you don’t take this to heart. The kid is just desperate for the one person he loves with all of him. Whatever you need to recover, please don’t hesitate to let me know, so I can see to it that it is provided to you," Lord Sadako said apologetically to Akila.
He had seen the way that Tamiko had dealt with the man and it hurt even him even though he wasn’t the one being suspected.
He had watched the Lycan Chief’s assistant be reduced to someone who wasn’t trusted, even though the crown trusted Igor’s barbarians to do whatever they needed. The crown had never once questioned them or what they did for years and now it seemed like Tamiko had broken that tradition.
It was a little hectic, but at the same time, it was something that they couldn’t deny had impacted them a lot more than he had thought possible. This wasn’t how life should have been in Kawai and yet it had been so.
Maybe there would come a time when shit was easier for all of them.
"I understand, sire. If I were in the young prince’s shoes, I would have done the same. But there is something it needs to tell you, something that I couldn’t tell the prince no matter what he did to me," Akila said.
Lord Sadako started at the Lycan like he was insane. They had all seen the way that Akila had been tortured and how much stress he had been put through, not to mention the amount of magic that had been used against him.
There was no way that the Lycan was able to withhold any information for Tamiko in that state unless he had a strong mental state. But then, five days of torture would have any other Lycan submitting and letting go.
It was always like that and Tamiko had done a lot to the realm and there wasn’t a special kind of damage factor that could be done to fix the extent of the mess that he had generated.
All of this was insane on so many fronts, but Lord Sadako was curious.
