Chapter 180

Lance was skeptical. As he should be.

The entire city was now occupied by his enemy. He had to be extra careful.

Morgana and Kass were hiding behind a collapsed wall a few feet away.

Hearing about their conversation, Morgana mouthed Janet quietly, asking if now was a good striking time.

Janet shook her head.

Lance was still too far away. If they let him slip away this time, it would be even harder to lure him out of his hideout.

They needed to wait for him to come into their circle, patiently.

Yes, My King, I am all alone.” Layla replied, “There is nobody here.”

“Then why don’t you come to me?” Lance asked. “The front gate is this way.”

“The front gate is too risky. We should pass this courtyard and circle to the back of the palace.”

Lance hesitated again.

He took one more look at the quiet courtyard–Everything seemed perfectly normal

to him.

He finally let his guard down and stepped into the courtyard.

“You were gone for a long time, Layla!” he walked up to Layla in long strides. His face was still pale due to the blood loss. “How is everything? Did you find Harper?” Layla gulped, “…Queen Harper…is dead.”

Lance frowned. He didn’t look sad at all.

“That useless bitch.” he snorted, “Whatever. It is better that she is dead. We don’t need her as our burden.

He touched Layla’s face with one hand, cupping her cheek gently.

“You are the only one who remains loyal to me. I will remember this, Layla. You will be rewarded after we recover from this. Anything that you want,” he said softly.

Layla stared at him in a daze.

Tears welled up and streamed down her cheek.

“I…I am sorry…” she sobbed, “So sorry…my King…”

Lance widened his eyes in shock.

At the very same time, Janet jumped out from behind the ruins and shouted:
