Chapter Twenty-Four
Ludwig purses his lips as Aviva’s stare turns from him to the Fielnon leader.
"Hmph. She didn't do as I wished, so I didn't give her what I promised."
The spy watches the white crystal in Fredrick's staff turn red. Mylah reaches out, being the closest to Fredrick, and puts a hand on his shoulder. His eyes flick from Aviva to Mylah.
"Don't let her get to you. Yor is doing just fine back at the Moreen camp. You can come back with me and see her if you'd like. But, let us focus on the matter at hand," Mylah's stare is focused on Aviva, and Ludwig turns around to face the camp's entrance as he hears footsteps.
Rye walks towards the leaders and Ludwig but stops when he sees Edgar. Edgar, his black spear already in his hand, just stares at his younger brother and takes a step toward him.
"You..." Edgar's voice is deep and threatening, and Ludwig takes a few steps toward the Kuu bloodline leader, prepared to protect him if need be.
