“Arpad….”

“Sure, that’s proper. Your Highness. The Duke of Arpad and a bunch of knights arrived on the Queen’s palace. Your Highness, I’ve come to let you know that.

The knight was speechless. Along with his dagger in hand, the king ripped open his chest.

“Arpad, Arpad! Arpad! Come on in. It’s all my fault. It’s me. Argh.”

His scream was filled with blood and resentment. Sebastian hugged the queen’s physique whereas moaning in ache, then he appeared up for a second.

He staggered out of his seat, kissing Ilona’s bloody cheeks and lips one after the opposite.

“Is the Duke of Arpad now on the Queen’s Palace?”

“Sure.”

He closed his eyes for a very long time earlier than opening them once more. Ilona’s blood on his fingers remains to be heat.

“Ilona. My expensive. Please wait a second.”

I want to vary my plan.

Sebastian’s blue eyes glistened within the mild.
