Summary
“I’ll go.”
As he steps forward, the silence around him is deafening. All eyes turn to him; a few gasps like sharp cracks break the air.
“That is… if you will have me.”
Khaslana takes another step, his heart beating like a drum in his chest. His face hardens, his jaw sets, before he drops onto his knees.
“Your Majesty,” he whispers, each syllable forced through his teeth as he lowers his gaze onto the blood-soaked ground. From the corner of his eye, he can see his brother struggling in the man’s hold.
“Khas—” Phainon's voice cuts off, silenced by the hand on his neck. Khaslana inhales deeply, lowers his head, then presses his forehead into the dirt.
“Please, King of Adlivun, the Blemished one. Take my life instead of my brother’s.”
Khaslana, a fierce warrior of Aedes Elysiae, offers himself to the tyrant of Adlivun to save his younger brother. Initially filled with hatred and defiance, Khaslana expects Nanook to be a cruel man. Instead, he is surprised to find a thriving kingdom and a king loved by his people.
