Eve stopped struggling as she knew her fate was already doomed.
Seeing the sharp sword just inches away from piercing her heart, she closed her eyes.
But the thing she expected didn't happen.
Suddenly, there was a loud-clanging noise as Evelyn intercepted David's attack and parried it away using her slender sword.
"Get away from my sister, you devil!"
"How can you do that to someone who always stood by your side?"
David was surprised upon seeing the uninvited guest.
"Evelyn?"
He turned his face around and saw Leon approaching him.
"Leon?"
"Why are you here?"
"David, you…you."
Leon wanted to scold him as he felt it was quite selfish of him to alone get stronger.
But looking at his newfound strength, he knew the things were already done, and there was no point in crying now. There was a moment of struggle and hesitation in his eyes.
Eventually, the fact that David was his brother and maybe he could use this chance to make David owe him a favour in future won over.
