Chapter 54 SAGE

Your Majesty. I think it was me who didn't make myself clear. I have no plans on going back. Especially now that I have no reason to do so.

But as much as I wanted to fight back, the weight of him pressing down on me left me immobilized, trapped beneath the very man I had sworn to escape.
