Chapter 113 — His Warrior Without Freedom
Watching the sunset as he stood by the window, Lucian noticed a flickering yellow light on the window glass, appearing behind him.
I’m sure I wasn’t supposed to get any emergency letters...
He thought, walking towards his desk. Seeing the royal stamp on the envelope, he gulped.
Will they execute me, now?
He pondered, a soft chuckle escaping him. He wouldn’t be surprised if that was the case. They never treated him as a human to begin with and he was conscious of their contempt for him. However, he followed their orders simply because he made a promise to his mother— he wouldn’t ever try to harm the royal family who were his own blood and flesh.
[They could indeed execute you this time. Before that, let me kill that king,] Keal suggested, his voice filled with excitement. He loved anything that included bloodshed, unlike Lucian who preferred to resolve matters in a less violent manner.
Lucian did not reply and began opening the envelope, taking out the letter inside.
[Monsters have been seen at the Lyac Lake. They keep attacking commoners there. You must take action as soon as possible before they begin to rebel against the crown. No delays will be tolerated on the matter.]
"Ah," Lucian gasped as if he had just realized something. "I’m merely a warrior without its own will whom he cannot even afford to kill."
