For a moment, Lord Everon just regarded Neveah in absolute silence, his eyes slightly narrowed.
Neveah understood Lord Everon's actions were not in a bid to stand against her but in his concern for the Lady Kaliana who was under his care.
With Lord Everon's skill and expertise, Neveah was certain he would definitely preserve Lady Kaliana's life...it was only that Neveah's fate was already being deliberated.
If Lady Kaliana lived, Neveah could keep her life but her guilt would not be alleviated and Neveah would still be judged.
However, if Neveah was able to save Lady Kaliana and earn herself a wish from the dragon king, perhaps it would all end differently.
"You have lived centuries, Your Eminence. But you have not lived my life, or seen the things I have seen... I will not say for certain that I can save her, but I will do all I can." Neveah continued.
