---- Chapter 3376 Shiloh asked quietly, "How did you two end up together?" Nyx replied coolly, "He pursued me. In the end, he wouldn''t leave me alone, so I agreed." Shiloh did not quite believe that, but she said calmly, "If you didn''t like him, then why stay by his side and risk your life with him? If I were you, I would have turned around and gone back to the Ounds." Nyx let out a sharpugh. "That''s why you''re not me. You have no idea what I''m thinking. But I know exactly what you''re thinking. Don''t think that just because you had his child, you''re special.
Later on, I can give him one too." Shiloh''s smile turned cold. "Can you guarantee you''d give him a son, though? The Lloyd royal family isn''t some ordinary household. A son is the one who stands to carry everything forward." Nyx shot back without missing a beat. "That''s pretty outdated thinking, don''t you think? Who says it has to be a son? Sheena Lloyd is a woman, and she''s about to take over as head of the family. So don''t tell me a daughter can''t hold her own." Shiloh gave a slight shrug. "Maybe where youe from, men ---- and women are treated the same. But in Holtrien, it''s different.
Having a son carries more weight, and that''s just the reality. Old- fashioned? Maybe. But it''s still true." Nyx refused to back down. "Fine. If one child isn''t enough, I''ll have three, or four. If it reallyes down to it, I''ll have ten. That should cover it." Shiloh wentpletely silent. Nyx''s own face flushed the moment the words left her mouth, realizing she had taken things a little too far. A beat of quiet passed between them as they both stared down at the enemy camp below, still and dark in the distance. Then Nyx exhaled softly. "Look. I''m sorry.
I shouldn''t be picking a fight with you. We''re standing here side by side, about to go into battle together, and here I''m starting drama. You raised Remyn on your own from the beginning, Shiloh. I genuinely respect that. And Remyn is a sweetheart. I already love that kid." Shiloh had not expected the shift, and for a moment, she just let it sit. Then a small, genuine smile crossed her face. She admitted, "I''m not usually the type to let people in easily, but the fact that you love Remyn is enough for me.
I''m donepeting with you." They looked at each other, a quiet sense of mutual respect ---- forming between them. Then, both of them blushed and turned away at the same time. Nyx cleared her throat. "For the record, Andrew didn''t chase me down. I liked him too. I just didn''t want to admit it back then." Shiloh smiled. "I know." They shared another knowing smile. At that moment, Andrew began issuing orders. "All of you, wait for my signal." With that, he shot down the hillside at incredible speed. His movement became almost impossible to track with the naked eye.
Like a gust of wind, he vanished into the darkness. The Cavendish family''s fighters stared after him, genuinely stunned, trading wide-eyed looks with each other before turning to Nyx and Shiloh for some kind of exnation. Nyx exined calmly, "Rx. If Andrew says he''ll do it, he will." Andrew covered over 100 yards in less than a second Near the allied camp stood towering watchtowers, manned around the clock. The mounted floodlights were paired with heavy firepower capable of shredding anyone who approached.
At that moment, one of the three watchtowers'' searchlights ---- flickered and paused briefly. Then, it resumed as if nothing had happened. In that split second, the soldier inside had already been killed by Andrew with a single strike. Momentster, the guards in the second and third watchtowers had their necks snapped as well. However, Andrew did not shut off the floodlights. Instead, he took control of one and shed it three times toward the hillside. That was the signal for a full assault. Nyx and Shiloh charged forward first.
The 50 Cavendish elites followed behind them in a surge of excitement. With no one left in the towers, the lights still shone brightly, creating the illusion that everything was normal In reality, the guards were already dead. So, Nyx and the others advanced boldly under the bright beams, closing in on the camp. Before long, they began setting fires, killing guards, and destroying structures and key supplies. The chaos they created was massive. Only then did the ring rm erupt. Red lights shed, and the siren wailed like a ghostly scream across the entire allied camp.
In the centralmand room, Azrael jolted awake instantly. He yanked open the curtains and saw explosions and mes tearing through the camp outside. ---- Fury exploded in his eyes. "How dare they! They''re asking for death, All units, assemble immediately and counterattack!"
