Chapter 13 Back to the Palace

There were traitors among them!

This term, which stirred up the people of Mandorla, made them begin to suspect each other.

Artemis swept her cold eyes over them, her eyes finally resting on someone, "Lore, am I right?"

She knew the truth when Saru called out her name. There were only four people who knew her full name, Rose, Lars, Lore and Roman. And she clearly told Lore to come out in a different direction at the exit. As a result, they still took the original route.

This matter is known only to Lore.

Lore slowly raised his head, his face was no longer innocent, that childish cuteness had metamorphosed into a calm maturity, clear brown eyes was covered with a layer of guilt. He did not dare to look into the eyes of Artemis, and did not refute and justify for himself.

Ross took a few steps backwards as if he had been startled. Opal stood blankly in the same place.

Roman clenched his hands into fists, his body trembling violently, "No, this is absolutely impossible."

The three of them expected Lore to say something to refute it, but he said nothing, did nothing, just looked at them grimly, which meant he admitted what she said.

The pain of being betrayed spread throughout their bodies.

Family affection, friendship, joys, all faded.

"To be able to bother you personally, it should not be for Mandorla people, your target should be me, I will go with you and let them go!"

As soon as the words left her mouths, the eyes of Mandorla people reddened, and they never expected her to make this condition.

"No way, Queen!" Roman's face fell dark miserably, understanding at once why she had let himself attack Lars, for Lars would have stopped her even if he had died.

"You've done enough for us, don't worry about us anymore!" Ross was even more excited and guilty. If he hadn't begged her to stay as Queen of Mandorla at that time, this wouldn't have happened now.

Opal stood by, her desperate figure reflected in his green eyes, and he knew that no one could stop her.

Artemis still held her head proudly high and stared determinedly at Saru, "HOW ABOUT IT?"

A trace of appreciation flashed in Saru's eyes, exclaiming that there was such a woman in the world.

She indeed had that value!

Artemis struggled to control her slightly swaying figure as she waited for Saru's answer, but felt a sudden dizziness again. She knew she was running out of energy, but she could not fall down now. She must not fall until this man agreed that.

She clenched her hands into fists and opened her eyes as wide as she could, but the dizziness kept coming and she plunged backwards.

Sara noticed her abnormality and immediately stepped forward to pull her up, picking her up effortlessly. Artemis, who hadn't completely lost consciousness, struggled and bit him directly on the arm.

Saru was careless and loosened his hands. When the person in his arms was about to fall to the ground, he hurriedly caught her. But the hand originally held on the waist slipped to the chest, the soft touch let him a shock.

Even more shocked was Artemis, who glared angrily at the man who had taken advantage of her and then fainted.

"Take all the rebels down, don't kill them!" He ordered to Clyde, who was standing by, after picking her up and rolling over onto his horse.

"YES!!!"

Saru looked at the woman in his arms, his large hand gently rubbing her cheek, and murmured, "I have a feeling that keeping them alive is keeping you from escaping my chains."

In the wide streets of Khatushash, thousands of civilians were cheering for the emperor's triumphant return.
