Meanwhile, Shin could feel that something about this felt… wrong. From what he managed to gather, this girl loved her siblings too much. And her uncle didn't treat then well. How could she offer her head without thinking of her siblings?
De Warden's lips rose. But before he could speak, Jenna continued.
She tilted her chin up slightly, baring her throat even more.
"But you'll have to do it like this… And that means killing them too."
Stanley's eyes widened but he didn't interrupt.
To be fair, if his sister died, he wouldn't want to live either.
"And when people hear about it," she continued lightly, "I wonder what they'll say."
She scoffed.
Would a man like this care about people's opinion, especially as the apocalypse was days away?
Still, she clung to the narrative.
"The mighty De Warden," she murmured. "A man so powerful he needed to slaughter children to retrieve a ring."
