The Valkyrie Returns and Slays (Raven)

Chapter 28

Chapter 28

Vivian stared at Rex, her mind going blank.

Everything she thought she knew exploded right in front of her, leaving her dizzy.

She knew Rex was a military general.

So she was stunned when he dropped on his knees in front of Raven.

It turns out that, this random girl from Bastion wasn't just the Valhalla master but a general too.

Vivian didn't get it-How did a 19-year-old become a general?

She couldn't come up with a second one in her life who had pulled off something this wild.

Eddie stood there, just as stunned, his eyes empty.

Learning Raven was the Valhalla master had already knocked him sideways.

Now Rex kneeling made it clear her rank might even top his.

All his efforts to protect Raven made him feel like a clown now.

"Shouldn't have come," he mocked himself bitterly.

Next to Raven, he-the future head of Regalhold's Valor family-felt like a complete nobody.

Thinking back to how he'd begged Raven to run, not once but twice, he wanted to dig a hole and hide.

Someone like her against the Grayson family was like an elephant crushing ants- she'd flatten them without even trying.

And he'd told her to run... Now that just looked dummy.
