Chapter 114 Caelum

• My desire to end Drave’s life pulses through me like poison, burning every fiber of my body with an almost unbearable intensity. Hatred courses through my veins, fueled by the sight of my half-brother sprawled before me, that maniacal grin still plastered on his bloodied face. He is the embodiment of everything I despise, everything that threatens my family and my kingdom.
• “What’s it going to be, little brother?” he taunts, spitting words laced with venom and blood. His face is swollen, covered in bruises, yet the arrogance in his crimson eyes gleams brighter than ever. “Death or life? The sacrifice of a bastard or the selfishness of a father?”
• His words hit me like a punch, shattering my composure. A roar tears from my throat before I even realize it, echoing through the throne room like thunder.
