Chapter 252: A Choice
Max couldn’t help but admire the stone-like expression etched upon the Elven woman’s face.
Her red hair and green eyes were locked on him.
Flowing robes of red and white hid her tall figure and multiple rings, earrings, and a red circlet decorated her. There was a wave of power that radiated off her. Something that Max knew was far greater than what the woman before.
Unlike Daelina, the Elven mage Aria gave off a presence of true energy.
“I offered mercy to your friend. She denied it and insulted the woman I love. I will make the same offer but will do far worse to you if you make the same mistake when you speak.”
Max could tell his voice almost came across as a growl. If she was foolish enough to repeat the mistake as Daelina, she would suffer even more.
“I will not surrender, but neither will I disrespect the woman you obviously care about,” she shouted back. “Part of me would prefer to not stand here, but surrendering is not an option. One in my position must honor those above me. Just know I will hold nothing back.”
Max understood that most likely that her queen had given them commands and expected results. The only way out for either of them was by winning or in death.
“May Thuyja grant your soul kindness as you pass to the other side.”
