Jagger looked at Eason, his eyes flickering with a complex mix of emotions.

Taking a deep breath to stabilize his feelings, Jagger spoke softly, “Let me go, but not just like that. Your Highness, I need you to subject me to all kinds of tortures, the more horrific, the better. When you let me go, just leave me barely alive. Only then will they believe.”

Eason narrowed his eyes. “What if they don’t save you? After being hypnotized for so many years, you’ve probably revealed everything you could. What use could you possibly be to them now?”

Jagger smiled faintly. “What if they do?”

He said calmly, “If I die, then so be it. I deserve it for the crimes I’ve committed.”

Eason fell silent, his gaze dropping.

“Your Highness, this is my only chance at redemption for the heinous sins I’ve committed,” Jagger said, his body trembling slightly.

“I understand.” Jagger nodded.

Eason closed his eyes and when he opened them again, they were cold and resolute.

He turned and left the room.
