For a few seconds, Karium Maselli couldn't even utter a single word. All he did was look at his mother with a hint of pain and disbelief on his face.
Was she really this worse? It's so hard to believe it!
"Karium... " Marozia Castelof muttered and took a step towards her son but... Karium shook his head.
"Don't come closer," he warned her. "I dread you, Mother. I don't want you near."
The Empress's heart sank at the words of her son.
He dreaded her? But he was the one whom she would never be able to harm no matter how worse she was!
How can he say that?!
"I have no reason to stay here now," Karium Maselli continued. "I give up on you, Mother. Let me return to Welahan."
"You can't do that," Marozia Castelof argued; a hint of panic in her eyes. "You have to stay here."
