The Deadly Assassin Robin by Tristan Storm

Chapter 907 A King Should Never Allow Regret to Take Root

Luella stood frozen, watching her grandfather, Felix, tremble in pain and fear. It was a sight she had never witnessed before.

Felix had always been a rock in her life-unwavering, strong, and resolute in the face of any obstacle.

He had never shown fear, never once been vulnerable.

But now, she saw a man whose once towering frame had begun to stoop, whose dark hair had turned ashen white, and whose eyes-always sharp and keen-now reflected the heavy burden of age and regret.

She knew in that moment that something was gnawing at his soul, a weight that he could neither escape nor relieve.

"Mr. Ramsey..." Luella's eyes sought Robin's, a silent plea for comfort and support.

It was only in his presence that she felt she could breathe, that the world didn't seem so heavy.

Robin glanced at Felix before offering a casual smile. "Get up, old man. You've built an empire that big. Don't you realize that there's no turning back now?

"The game of the world doesn't allow retreat," Robin continued, his voice unwavering and cold. "Once you're in, you're trapped. The only way out is to keep walking the same path until the end. If you try to leave, your entire family will be erased-without a trace, not even bones.

"If you want my advice, it's simple: there's no turning back. But maybe, just maybe, if you fight hard enough, you might win. You're a beast, Felix. You live to conquer, to stand above all. A tiger never dulls its claws-if it does, it invites death and disgrace.

"I know you don't want to talk about Ernst, and even less do you want to face the friends you once shared everything with, who are now your enemies.

"But this is something you can't avoid.

"The reason you're afraid is because, deep down, you know there's something you did that you feel ashamed of.

"You want to spend the rest of your life making up for it.

"But I have to tell you, that's not going to happen. A king should never allow regret to take root in his heart."

Luella stared at Robin, taken aback by his words.

She couldn't understand what he meant by them.
