Chapter 457: A Severe Conflict
Kyren roared, demanding to be released. His cries were a chaotic frenzy fueled by a desire for revenge against Kiev. The knights froze momentarily, taken aback by the grand duke’s wild behaviour.
"I ordered you all to stop him! Didn’t you hear me?!" King Kyden shouted again, his voice slicing through their confusion.
Noah was the first to respond, quickly followed by Eric and the others. They knew they had to prevent the situation from escalating further.
As the knights restrained Kyren, the grand duke fought back with increasing ferocity. His screams filled the air, laced with curses directed at them for ignoring his demands to be released.
Despite the grand duke’s fury, the knights stood firm, obeying the king’s command. Kyren’s anger peaked; he wanted to lash out at anyone who opposed him, but he was outnumbered, and his strength had not fully returned from the exhausting journey.
For days, Kyren had been filled with excitement at the prospect of reuniting with Anna. His sleepless nights were driven by happiness and anticipation.
He had planned to reveal his wife’s rightful status as the heir to Ardel’s throne, solidifying their bond and affirming the kingdom’s allegiance to him as her consort.
With the victory over their enemies in hand, he believed Anna would finally be freed from the rejections she had endured and officially named Grand Duchess of Gerhard. Nevertheless, all that ambition now lay in ruins, shattered by the perceived betrayal awaiting him upon his return.
Amidst the chaos, King Kyden called for backup, "Summon the royal knights!"
At his command, Eli dashed outside, startling Luke and the others who stood waiting.
"What’s happening, Sir Henderson?" Sylvia asked anxiously.
