CHAPTER 91 The Bitter Truth

  Autumn

  Despite the fear and the pain echoing through my own body, I held onto the dagger tightly and fled from him, my heart pounding with every step.

  As I finally escaped the confines of the castle, Robert's agonized cries echoed behind me. I wondered why he didn't pursue me, but I couldn't dwell on it now. My legs trembled with fatigue and adrenaline as I scanned the surroundings, half-expecting warriors to block my path. However, the path was clear as soon as l exited. Before me lay a tranquil garden, its paths winding like a labyrinth, leading towards a grand gate. I dashed towards it, pushing open the heavy doors, unsure of what awaited me beyond.

  Ethan.

  Tears streamed down my cheeks in torrents as I sprinted towards him, desperation lending speed to my steps. When I finally reached him, I threw myself into his arms, clutching him tightly as if he were the anchor keeping me from drifting away.
