Chapter 543: The Summons
A Day Before

As he walked through the dark courtyard behind the guard, Tobias kept his expression calm, but inside his mind thoughts moved quickly.
*Do you think she knows?* Ryker asked.
"I hope not," Tobias replied quietly in his mind.

It would be an execution.
Tobias glanced briefly at the guard walking ahead of him.

Tobias exhaled slowly.
