Chapter 20: Eye and Wing
The world was cruel and unfair.
Someone who was on top yesterday, lit up with fortune from birth, today could stand in front of a crowd waiting to be executed for a mistake they didn't even make.
Anissa turned around, breathing heavily. "Mr. Oldric, this... this is just a misunderstanding! As soon as we find out what happened, we'll fix it!"
"Too late," his calm tone was worse than any curse.
He made his decision, and no one could stop him.
At a wave of his hand, a shadow jumped down from above. Two long blades loomed over their heads.
Old Eye looked at them with disdain.
"Pray that this turns out to be your fault and not your father's. Otherwise, your fate will befall the entire Fraun Family. No one dares deceive me or the people of the Hollow Patch!"
Then, in a slight nod, Oldric gave the order. The blades came into motion.
"Wait."
A young but harsh voice stumped everyone, causing Old Eye to turn around.
