Chapter 54: Too early to celebrate.

King Raff growled like a pit bull, it never took much to set him off.

The Windrider’s clenched their fists, Sigrid could see the unwillingness in their eyes but she had no plan to stop. With her words, whether they surrendered the map or not, the king would be suspicious of them, after all why would a powerful family like theirs want to possess such a sword if not to rebel?

She had not acquired the first shard on her trip, and now, she would never acquire it.

As for the Windrider’s they could not defend themselves or deny having the map. The king would torture everyone on their estate to get answers, to avoid a disaster, the prime minister sent for the map.
