Half a Crest to Consume

A silent sigh only came from Darius when he heard those words. To be honest, Nicholai was the last Rudolf to probably harm him; that guy would kill himself first before anything bad happened to his mate. So, when Plutonia said that, everyone in the Abyssal generals assumed that it would be no one else but the loathsome Aldous Rudolf, the Cosmic King.

When Darius returned to the room, the Kings were only thinking among themselves. They were quiet and kept their thoughts hidden behind their unconnected gazes. That was why Darius felt free to ask: "Sofia? Weren't you going to ask Nick to heal your crest?"

"Oh, you're right. I have forgotten," Sofia murmured as if she was not lying. She was just not aware of the fastest way to make this Rogue King agree. After all, it might deplete his energy and render him useless for a few days—or weeks, she was not sure.
