Chapter 108- Carnage(2)

"No, father. Wait!" Hazir suddenly stood before his father, blocking his path. 

His second son also stood before him as he said, "You cannot go."

The Patriarch frowned, "You two know the situation out there, but still stopping me?" His voice sounded unnaturally cold as he told them, "Move."

"No, father. You need to stay here and be the last line of defense." Hazir insisted, "If you fall, there would be no one to command the soldiers and assure our people. You need to be here, and take the command, father."

Hearing his eldest son's voice, the King was forced to think about his decision once again.

Tarvin added, "You are our strongest pillar of hope. And if something happens to you...I, us, and the whole country would fall into despair. So please, stay here."
