Chapter 401: Reconciliation

Astrid's POV

The words hung in the air, heavy and sharp, cutting deeper than any blade. I felt Killian's tension beside me, the barely contained storm beneath his surface threatening to erupt.

"She introduced you... to the Rogue King?" Killian's voice was low, trembling with suppressed rage.

His golden eyes bore into Andros, demanding answers, demanding a reason to justify what was unfathomable.

Andros's gaze flickered, the indifference cracking ever so slightly. He leaned his head back against the cold stone wall, exhaling slowly.

"She didn't tell me why at first," he said, his tone eerily calm. "She just... showed up. Out of nowhere."

The faint light from the torch above us cast long shadows across his face, and for a moment, I saw something raw in his eyes-something I couldn't ignore.

"She said she wanted to help me," Andros continued, his voice softening, almost as if he were speaking to himself. "Said she didn't want me to rot away in exile. That she could... save me."

Killian's eyes narrowed. "Save you?" He spoke bitterly. "From what? From the consequences of your own actions?"
