Chapter 335
The work continued.Ryn and Sael worked on different sides from the soldiers, following the instructions they were given without needing them to be repeated more than once. The more experienced hands handled the parts that required more than mere determination, while the younger hands took care of the rest.The hide was separated from the flesh.It was not an easy process, because Auranveil hide was thicker than ordinary steel plating, but it was done systematically, beginning at the points where Lein's energy blades had already made the initial cuts, then widening them from there along the existing paths.Layer by layer.The golden hides, which continued to radiate their own inner light even after being separated, were stacked in one corner of the field, clearly demonstrating that they were not mere waste but valuable materials in their own right.Beneath the hides, the flesh, whose density far surpassed that of ordinary creatures, was separated from the bones in a manner that could

The second blade went through the right wing.SRAK.The two golden wings, still radiating their own light even after being severed, now lay on the left side of the field, kicking up dust when they landed.Lein did not stop.His hands moved to the next section—the jaw, its fangs, each one longer than a fully grown human, separated from the bone with such precision that it was clear he already knew exactly where the joints were without needing to inspect them. KRAK. They fell to the ground one after another, each landing with a heavier sound than seemed natural.Next came the front claws.The energy blade swept downward at precisely the right point above the joints, and the four claws, each too large for two human hands to span, were severed simultaneously.It was the speed that left everyone on the field motionless.Not because there was nothing they needed to do, but because Lein's movements were too fast to follow easily. He did not move like someone in a hurry. He moved like someone

One second.Two.Ten.Bravan stared at Carath. Carath stared back at Bravan. Neither moved, neither spoke, and between them was something being measured—not intelligence, and not ability, but boundaries.Where each man's limits lay.And whether those limits existed in the same place."You've gone mad, Carath."It was not a shout. Not an explosion of anger. Just a statement from a man accustomed to weighing his words even in the most uncomfortable circumstances, and this time choosing the most accurate words rather than the safest ones.Carath did not blink."To achieve your goals, you have to do whatever it takes." His voice came from someone who had already gone far beyond the boundary Bravan had just pointed out and could no longer see it from where he stood. "There is no difference between what you call sanity and what you call madness except who wins in the end."The room remained silent for another second.Then something shifted at the corner of Bravan's lips.It was not a warm s
Chapter 332
The silence in the room was uncomfortable, and Bravan let it linger even longer when the knock came.Three times. Even intervals, with controlled pressure.Not the way someone in a hurry or nervous would knock. It was the knock of someone who had already decided to knock before his hand ever touched the wood.Bravan frowned."Tell whoever is outside to leave." His voice left no room for interpretation. "I don't want to be disturbed.""Yes, First Prince."Alex walked to the door without the slightest hint of haste and opened it.Then stopped.Bravan noticed the change in the old official's back, the slight lift of his shoulders, the way his head stopped before moving into the speaking position he had already prepared. That tiny change alone was enough to make Bravan raise his gaze toward the door.The voice from outside came in before he could see who was there."Bravan." The voice carried no title, not because it had been forgotten, but because the speaker had deliberately chosen not

In the western wing of Vaelthorn Royal Palace, Bravan sat.Not the way he had sat earlier while reading his documents, with his back straight and his mind already knowing where to move next. This was different. His elbows rested on his knees, his gaze unfocused on anything in front of him, and an expression appeared on his face that had never shown itself when anyone else was in the room.Bitter.Not anger. Not panic. Something deeper than either, the feeling of someone who had spent a very long time building something with painstaking care, only to watch a variable that had never once entered his calculations transform the entire structure into something that could no longer be maintained in the same way.Lyris would win.The words were not a conclusion that needed further consideration. It was already settled. It had been there from the moment he saw Lein flying through the sky with four Auranveil corpses behind him, and nothing had changed since then except that he had now been sit
Chapter 330
Lyris took longer than usual to answer.Not because she had no answer, but because she had only just finished processing an amount of information that was too overwhelming to arrive all at once, and she needed one more second to make sure that what came out of her mouth was a decision rather than a reaction."Keep an eye on him." Her voice carried the composed layer she had deliberately chosen to put back in place. "I'm certain he won't dare touch us after this. He's seen for himself that there are things he cannot touch when they're on our side."Her gaze never left Lein."But I also know he won't give up that easily. Carath isn't someone who accepts defeat quietly. He'll find another way, and I need to know what he chooses before that plan has fully taken shape."She turned to Miran."That's your task."Miran nodded. Once, firmly, like someone who had already accepted the order and begun figuring out how to carry it out before the nod had even finished."As Your Highness wishes."Me
