Chapter 259

"I'll head to the palace to announce our arrival. You all stay here. Perhaps Dani could show Sylas around the capital in the meantime."

"What? I…!"

"An excellent idea. With nearly a year of Academy life, Dani must know every corner of the capital."

Before Dani could protest, Sylas chimed in smoothly. The Count nodded with a smile.

"Yes, consider this a chance to bond as brothers."

"There's no grudge between us, Father. We're brothers, after all."

"Haha, thank you for saying so."

With a laugh, the Count departed for the palace with his guards. Left behind were a pale Dani and a cheerfully smiling Sylas.

"Well, little brother, could you show me around the capital? I'm not familiar with the area."

"…."

Dani's eyes trembled as he heard Sylas's request, whispering right beside him. It felt like a nightmare.
