Chapter 114

"....thank you"

"Now that your highness has claimed Turia, do you wish to continue with the war, the situation being the way it is?"

The decision now rested solely in his hands with Mival's condition. Both of them were aware of that but Bachel was interested in his decision. 

"I just want to see how my father is doing"

"Yes, of course" Bachel said, a faint smirk on her face. They soon reached the king's quarters, the guards opening the door. It was the same as before, the well aired room with a corpse-like human on the bed. He was deathly still but his body was still fresh as if he would wake at any moment. 

".....Is he even alive?"

"You are free to check his pulse, your highness"

"No, it's fine. Leave us"

"Yes, your highness" she backed away, closing the door behind her. Once he couldn't feel her presence again, he moved closer to his father, looking down on him. A look of absolute contempt appeared on his face.
