Chapter 215: Loyalty Vs. Filial Piety (6)
Levin didn’t know where his feet actually led him; he was wandering without a direction in mind aside from finding a place that could make him breathe normally again.
He let out a painful chuckle, mocking himself. Escape. That was all he could do. His hands clenched into a fist, and he bit his lips until he tasted blood.
In fact, he couldn’t even feel any physical pain, as though he had gone numb, but it was all accumulating emotionally so that no matter where he went, his mind was still in chaos. The suffocation sensation didn’t diminish in the slightest.
His footsteps stopped, and he raised his head. Unknowingly, his feet carried him all the way to the palace. Levin stared at it, unsure if he should go in.
There was a lot of confusion in his mind, but one thing became clear to him at once. The reason why His Majesty had become so cold to him that he started isolating him. Specifically, the reason why he didn’t... trust him anymore.
His lips trembled as he bit them hard; he wasn’t sure what he was doing there at first, and eventually, he also realized why he had come here subconsciously.
Levin would face it here, and he didn’t want to wait for a summons or know where he could hold on.
Having decided this, despite the fear that made his knees weak and the cowardice that shrouded him again, Levin took a heavy step forward.
Even if what he would talk about with Spade could shake him to the core, he needed to do this.
He hadn’t taken a few steps when he suddenly stopped. His heart skipped a beat, and he blinked. There in front of him stood someone who was special in his heart.
Levin didn’t have a lot of possessions; he never cared about status, the noble title, or the throne. Growing up, he only strived for one thing, and that was to stand by Spade’s side. He escaped desperately from a predestined fate and climbed what should have been unattainable for someone like him.
