Chapter 2074: Anyone Can Be Emperor

Due to Darrin's excessive force, Grizela fell to the ground, panting heavily.

"Why are you stopping me?!" she shouted angrily. "His Highness is gone forever. How can I live alone? It was my negligence. I must atone with my death!"

She tried to grab the sword again.

Darrin kicked the sword further away. "You're crazy. The situation isn't settled yet, and you want to kill yourself?"

He knew her country's tradition of atoning for mistakes with death, thinking it was an outdated concept. He didn't expect anyone to still adhere to it. Grizela was truly loyal.

"Not settled? His Highness is in the hands of the Crown Prince. How could he survive? Don't comfort me. I want to join him; you don't need to stop me." Grizela knelt on the ground. "Without a sword, I still have a gun. There are many ways to die."

Darrin felt a tightness in his chest. He abruptly pulled Grizela up from the ground, bringing her face-to-face with him.

"To you, is your life only worth serving Reuben? Is there no one else worth living for? Have you not considered him even for a second?" he questioned painfully.

Grizela was stunned and didn't answer.

In the darkness, she dared not look at his pained eyes.

Because even a sliver of light would reveal his sorrowful gaze, his handsome face twisted in anguish, and his expression filled with grief.

Darrin laughed bitterly. "After knowing each other for so long, I thought I held some small place in your heart. But it turns out I'm nothing. To you, I'm just a passerby. You want to kill yourself without considering my feelings at all. Have you thought about how much pain I'd be in?"
