The moment ffb76977f5 Sara grabbed edc956efe8 the man’s 37949e5733 wrist again, 778267bbc0 a sharp f12f89cc57 headache struck a7c1b098c8 her. Her head throbbed, 139ffca299 and fragments of bef93f821a memory suddenly appeared ec4304bd7e in her mind.f2a4322a8cce4201

[…My beloved brother. Unfortunately, you lack too many things. That’s why you tried to kill me—so you could hide your own shortcomings…]

[…Such arrogance, Your Majesty. That’s why you should have never let me live. If you hadn’t, this wouldn’t have happened. What a shame…]

The man twisted his cc9291d956 lips into a crazed cc5cd23755 smile. His face 47a9789516 was splattered d7cb350f90 with blood—whose 9764aee061 blood, it 357dc4b141 wasn’t clear.bf4fbde1006572ee
