Chapter 84
The individuals Khal referred to as Deses’s hounds shared one common trait.
It was that they all possessed exceptional talent in their respective fields.
Frank in physical strength, Morris in swordsmanship, and Faust in medicine.
Deses would naturally discard anyone among them who failed to prove their value.
Frank had been demoted to the lowest rank among those on the left arm.
Furthermore, Faust, whom Deses had once supported, was ruthlessly fed to his pet, Zauber.
Crunch, crunch.
Watching Zauber gnaw and chew on Faust’s remains…
“B-Brother…”
Overcome by shock, Anastasia collapsed where she stood.
To her, Deses issued a cruel command.
“Clean up the leftovers yourself. You will take Faust’s place, Anastasia.”
The ‘leftovers’ he referred to were Faust’s corpse.
As if desecrating Faust’s body wasn’t enough, he ordered her to succeed him. Tears welled in Anastasia’s eyes, but…
Coldly.
Her heart was completely suppressed by Deses’s sharp gaze, leaving her unable to do anything.
“I obey your command.”
Anastasia quickly wiped away her sorrow and bowed her head.
Khal, with his arms crossed, spoke to Deses.
“You’re raising the seeds of your own destruction.”
“Trouble? Don’t be ridiculous.”
Grrr.
Dismissing the idea as if it were impossible, Deses looked at Bagrova, who stood before Khal with its fur bristling.
Even though it hadn’t fully matured, the chimeras nearby trembled at its presence and dared not approach.
