Chapter 379: The Rogue King’s Gambit

Killian's POV

The room was silent, heavy with the weight of what we'd brought back from the ruins.

"It doesn't look like much," Drystan said, his tone edged with frustration as he leaned back in his chair.

“That's assuming they don't already know," Drystan muttered.

The tension in the room was palpable, every word charged with the fear and uncertainty of what lay ahead.
