Roswell's harsh words shattered Cassandra's resolve.
She lowered her head, her face filled with guilt.
She had tried everything to save Cedric, but all her efforts had been in vain. Ragan remained firm in his decision to punish him.
That left her feeling helpless... and desperate.
Roswell slowly calmed himself. He crossed his legs and leaned back against the sofa.
"Saving Cedric is incredibly difficult—it's like trying to reach heaven," he said with a hint of irritation. "But I'll do everything I can, even if it means risking my position as prime minister."
He let out a heavy sigh.
"I'll do it."
Cedric's rise to the top of the empire wasn't just important for him and his allies. It was also vital to the future of the Kleith family.
Back then, the Kleith family was little more than a small baronial house in the north.
Even so, the family produced many talented descendants.
Roswell was one of them, along with his younger sister, Cassandra.
