Chapter 51: The Gionite Queen

A few seconds later, Marcial collapsed to the ground. His chest exposed his blood dripping all over his body.

I gasped. “Marcial!”

Deputy Shan and Runi came rushing toward us.

Marcial looked at me piercingly with pain in his eyes, pleading for me to go to him.

The General held my hand. “Go,” he commanded.

I tell Runi and Deputy Shan, “Please take care of Randall.”

I released him to them gently as I raced toward Marcial who was vomiting blood as I cuddled his upper body in my lap. I ask him as I cup his cheeks, “Why did you do it? Why did you lay down your life for me?”

He chuckled. “Isn’t it obvious, Natalia? I have always loved you since the day I saw you. I always thought your father and the General were fools for love as they’ve ruined their sanity when it came to the women they’ve loved but then here I am…dying for the woman I have always loved.”

I take his hand as I sob gently. “Marcial, don’t speak anymore. Conserve your energy.”
