Chapter 14: Biased Authority
"Yes, Father."
Sylus held Zani’s hand tighter, trying to calm her down.
Martins, after looking at his son for a while, decided to speak.
"Is what your sister saying the truth?" he asked, his voice laced with authority.
Sylus frowned a bit. No matter what response he gave, it would still end with the same outcome.
Under no circumstances is anyone allowed to attack a member of the royal family.
"I’m sorry, Father. I’ll be sure to caution her next time," he replied.
"Sylus, I expected better from you. Your Mystero not only injured your sister’s servant but also attacked her herself. That is unacceptable."
Elizabeth could only stare from the back, pity etched on her face.
Sylus didn’t care much; as long as the attention wasn’t on Zani, he was fine with it.
His single hope came to an end in the blink of an eye.
