Chapter 178: Will For Vengeance
"I was the Rose Knight! I am the Drovarys! I am the one who can hold this divine sword!"
Alexandra’s loud voice echoed throughout the desert and was heard by everyone there.
"You were the one who killed our ancestors in droves?" the chief asked, raising his lance. His fierce eyes got rimmed red and he drew his hand back, about to throw the lance at her. "You killed them all to further your agenda. And we were the ones who suffered."
"I did," Alexandra said, placing her hand over her heart. "I had sworn an Oath to the Great King. I was his servant," she replied. "And I regret my decisions."
She didn’t want to pass every blame on Luke. She knows that Maximus wants her to be blameless. He thinks that nothing was her fault. But she differs in her opinion. She is at fault too. Her stupidity is at fault.
"I should have stopped him. I should have realized my calling sooner. But I was blinded. And I paid my price," she said.
The Chief looked at her. By now the other chiefs joined him and they were all standing in unison. The entire battlefield was still and all eyes were on her.
She did cast a little spell to have all their attention. She didn’t want a bloody war to happen. When she saw the battlefield, she did want to join them. But she controlled her wishes. She is not the Kinght. She never wants to be the Knight once more. She wants to be who she was in the beginning—a guide to humans, with Maximus by her side.
For now, she just wanted to talk and make sure everyone leaves this place happy. She knew she cannot continue this war instigated by Inanis.
"What good is your regret, warrior?"
