Chapter 189

Rayton struggled to open his eyes. A day passed, then two, but the situation remained unchanged. It seemed as if he were dead. Sez stayed by Rayton’s side in his unconscious state.
As evening fell, Belkiel would arrive. He forcibly separated Sez from Rayton, chiding her for not understanding her situation even though she was pregnant.
Strangely, Belkiel’s complexion seemed to worsen over time. Sez worried it might’ve been due to stopping Rayton’s rampage and asked about it, but his response was as dismissive as ever.
“Mind your own business and take care of him.”
However, Belkiel did not refuse when Sez wrapped Rayton’s burnt hand with bandages. It was Eton who also sought out Rayton, submerged in a death-like sleep. Eton observed the sleeping man without uttering a word. In the meantime, Philip returned... with unwelcome news.
“The nobles... are causing a division?”
