He Threw Away and Sold to the Devil 131

“This morning, Abril told me that her mother showed her King Venobich. Apparently, he has already started to move. All the generals and officers are dead, replaced by puppets of darkness. They only look human, but they’re monsters.” 

“Are you going to tell the elves?” 

“Yes, I want to find out if they plan to lend us part of their army when the war starts.” 

“Do you want us to go now?” 

“Yes.” 

Cassian was a bit worried about how harsh Alessandro had been with Ethan the day before and 

asked, 

“Will you be okay?” 

“What do you mean?” 

“I mean, will you be able to set aside your anger? I don’t want you drawing your sword when we get 

there.” 

“Honestly, I’d love to do it. I’d like to kill that damn elf for touching Abril, but I won’t. I’ll control myself for the good of my kingdom, as this isn’t the best time to let my fee 

take over.”
