There's nowhere in this world where you can hide from my reach," Ezekiel whispered, his breath warm against her neck. Her throat tightened as his lips grazed her skin. With a firm yet gentle grip on her chin, he tilted her head, urging her to meet his intense gaze, causing her heart to pound in her chest. "I'm here to make you remember every detail of the agony you've caused me," he declared. "Agony?!" she protested. "Yes, your cruel betrayal. Leaving me, breaking your promise..."

Breach the Dormant Bond

At the Kingdom of Ebodia

Ezekiel was at the southern part of Ebodia, overseeing the construction of fortified walls at the borders. He was accompanied by Lurio, whom he had tasked with creating a powerful barrier around the borders of Ebodia.

"I want something as strong as the protective barrier we had at the northeastern part where the Forbidden Forest is near," Ezekiel said. Ensuring the safety of his people was paramount. Though Devon was dead, the threat of future conflict and conquest loomed. The world was vast, and greed was a persistent danger.

His discussion with Lurio was interrupted by the sudden approach of Minister Dion of Public Works. The latter bowed and said, "Your Majesty, may I have a word."

"What is it?" Ezekiel asked.

"We need more production of concrete and steel. With the amount of rebuilding and reconstruction we're doing, we'll need to import limestone at this rate," Dion informed him.
