Lina stared at him. She knew this was the last straw. So, she did nothing, but smile. And in front of everyone, the deities, spirits, and everything in between, she lowered onto her knees.
Everyone gasped. The sound resonated throughout the throne room. Not a single person dared to look away. Not a single person could fathom the outcome of this. The precious Princess who didn't even kneel when greeting her father, the one who never received consequences for her pranks, and the one that was never scolded, was putting aside her pride.
When the great Princess of Heaven went to her knees, hands on the floor, and forehead kissing the ground, the entire world seemed to stop.
"As your youngest, I beg of you, great Emperor, to spare mercy upon the God of War and let your flesh take his place."
