There were passages leading outside from the King's Palace; Aubree Groove knew this, as did General Nando naturally.
Just as he was about to exit the tunnel, Nando, who had caught on, grabbed Aubree's shoulder.
"You tricked me again."
He suspected that as soon as he came out of the tunnel, he would be caught like a turtle in a jar and showered with a barrage of arrows.
The young lady, however, remained calm, replying casually, "Judging by the time, she has already left Percival's waters."
Nando's eyes turned red, he was caught up in a wave of agitation.
He gripped Aubree's throat, hurling her against the uneven wall, his fingers tightly clutching her slim neck.
"I'll kill you."
Nando, at this moment, was like a raging lion, frantic and impulsive.
Nando was indeed a formidable adversary, his strength so oppressive that one could hardly breathe.
