Chapter 74: To Keep a Promise
“Why did you stop me?”
On the way back, Prince Edmund questioned his escort in a harsh tone.
The female knight Malenia, bowed her head and said nothing. Then, when the Prince stared at her intently as if expecting an answer, she answered.
“It was because my abilities were lacking.”
“Was that wolf really that strong?”
“I could have definitely killed her. But you wouldn’t have been safe either, Your Highness. I couldn’t risk it.”
The woman who prided herself on being the strongest in the Expert realm was confident that she could kill not only Kyle but also Roka.It’s not she didn’t do it because of compassion. It was simply because the sun behind Roka was ready to explode at any moment.
“That thing was not a wolf, it was a mad dog. It was ready to die with us the entire time. The moment I killed the Priest, the girl would have ignited her technique, killing everyone in the room.”
Malenia sensed that if the mini-sun exploded properly, this entire area would be blown away.
Although the woman was first-class at killing people, she couldn’t guarantee protecting the Prince from the fire and heat that would engulf everything around them.
Of course, if she did that, Roka, who was right next to the epicenter, would also be burned black. It was a “you die, I die” situation.
