Chapter 89

“You’ve likely heard the rumors that Emperor Kyes didn’t participate in every battle.”

The formal speech that Darcy usually detested came naturally now. It was the utmost respect he could show them.

“He avoided battles against magicians.”

Kyes knew just how formidable an opponent a magician could be. Having been a victim of mind control magic himself, he feared magicians.

“So he used me instead.”

Darcy spoke calmly about his past, revealing things he had never told me before.

Though his voice was steady and his demeanor unchanged, I could imagine how much he must be trembling inside.
