"Dario, Dario, you can't die! My dear brother." De la Valle cried out in agony, well aware that if Dario hadn't pushed him away in time, he would have been the one to die.
Dario's eyes had turned a shade of gray-white, his Douqi and life force both having ebbed away through the terrifyingly large hole in his chest.
"Your Majesty... listen... to me... Qin City... cannot... be... opposed... Submit... to Milan... The terror... of Qin City... is not something... we... can... confront..." With his last words uttered, Dario's body violently shuddered once, and de la Valle's Douqi could no longer stem the gushing blood. Flore Empire's famed Prime Minister thus bade the world farewell, dying in the arms of his king.
