Chapter 38 What's The Occasion This Time?

• Atticus let out a bitter laugh, his eyes glancing away momentarily before returning to the intense gaze of Lazarus. “I don’t trust anyone, Lazarus. You’re the only one who knows the truth about me and hasn’t betrayed me so far. But what about the others? They could betray me at any moment.”
• A wave of distrust and paranoia swept over the prince, eroding his confidence in those around him. It was as though he was trapped in a labyrinth of suspicion, unable to discern who his true ally was and who might turn against him.
• Lazarus felt a pang in his heart witnessing Atticus’s loneliness and anguish. To face the imminent challenges, the prince needed not only courage but also trust in those around him. Lazarus was determined to prove his loyalty and help Atticus find a glimmer of hope amid the darkness consuming his soul.
