Her Graceful War Song by Summer's Blaze

Chapter 1471

Chapter 1471 Still on her knees, Carissa felt like a lifetime had passed before she heard Salvador's soft sigh, followed by a quiet chuckle.

"You little fool. Why are you throwing a tantrum?" he said.

A sense of relief washed over Carissa.

At first, anger and frustration had driven her to speak recklessly. After that, what she said was more of a gamble. But deep down, she had been scared. She couldn't imagine how ruthless a king, whose life was nearly at an end, could be when he became cold-hearted.

Perhaps, just perhaps, it might work.

A faint smile touched his thin, pallid face. "You're just the same as you were as a child. Always so proud, never willing to let anything slide. I barely asked you a question and you turned it into a scolding. I can't do a thing with you."

He looked at her, his gaze deep and weary. "Tell me, why argue with a man who's almost dead? Are you not afraid I'll tell Nathan you've been picking on me? Don't forget, once upon a time, you used to see me as an elder brother. And I am still your elder brother now."

Carissa turned her head, tears welling up despite herself.
