Chapter 28 - The Night (4)

Perhaps, Rydan just wanted to pay her back.

For saving his life.

The minute that bell was heard, he couldn't move at all, and Rydan was convinced no one could save him. The smoke rushes so fast, aiming accurately at his heart, intends to kill him. But Elleryn moves and stands in front of him, protecting him.

He wonders since the minute Elleryn rushes out the hall.

Why did she want to save him?

He is Suttern after all, if he died, the possibility of Suttern to fall to its doom will rise, and everyone knows it. Because there's no way two people are sitting on the throne after his death. The Twins will have to begin a war for the position of the throne and Suttern will eventually be destroyed. If that happens, isn’t she going to be free?

Of him, of Suttern, of everything,

Then, why?

The minute Rydan decides to go against the Queen in front of spectators, he begins to wonder.

Why did she save him?
