Therius shook his head. "My grandmother was very angry and ordered General Moria to destroy Taeshi's capital to the ground. Because I know Emma's mother and brother live there, along with ten million other Taeshi residents, I tried hard to prevent that.
I convinced my grandmother to stop her plan to destroy their capital as long as Princess Arreya surrendered, dead or alive. Then, I plan to persuade Princess Arreya to come with me to Akkadia, to make my grandmother happy.
We just need to buy time until my grandfather dies, right? I know you did a great job back there. Once the king is dead and I ascend the throne, we won't have any more problems."
Xion nodded. "Two more days. I deliberately wounded him in such a way that he wouldn't die right away. I don't want you to be suspected. If he died slowly, everyone would think his death is by natural causes."
