Chapter 222
Silence thickly blanketed the group, and it shattered in an instant.
Carynne urgently called out to Isella.
“Isella Evans.”
“Now, what… uh, umph!”
“Shh, Isella. Don’t make any sudden movements.”
Carynne quickly covered Isella’s mouth as she attempted to scream. The sudden appearance of ‘Isella’ was unexpected for Duke Luthella’s group as well, preventing immediate disaster.
Carynne covered Isella’s mouth and quickly explained.
“Isella, these people are trying to kill us because they found us while they were fleeing. And Sir Zion is confronting them to protect us.”
Carynne swallowed hard as she watched Zion, who was ready to throw the duke’s granddaughter out of the window.
‘That’s too harsh a method.’
While Zion’s skills weren’t quite up to par with Raymond’s, they were sufficiently good. Using a young child as a hostage for negotiation was extreme but it wasn’t the wrong move.
