Anton scanned the three men in panic and said in a threatening tone, “Do you know who I am? I’m


    Anton, the son of the Pontiff of the Sauro Church!


    “I–if you dare to harm me, my father…”


    Bam!


    Before Anton could finish, a fistnded heavily on his face. It was none other than Noir, who hade


    in fury afterforting Katalina.


    “The Pontiff’s son?” Noir’s voice was furious. “So what if you’re the Pontiff’s son? Since you dared to


    lay a finger on Lina, I won’t spare you even if you’re God Himself!”


    As he spoke, he rained down fists on Anton’s face, chest, abdomen, arms, and legs, leaving no part


    untouched.


    “How dare you… How dare youy l


    on the queen? How dare you threaten me?” Noir continued to rebuke while relentlessly beating Anton.


    After several rounds, Anton’s face was unrecognizable, and his limbs were severely damaged. He was


    barely gasping for breath.


    “Enough,” Andrius intervened. “Don’t kill him, Noir. Leave him alive.”


    “Sure!”

    Noir vented his anger and let go. However, he spat out a thick wad of saliva on Anton’s face, and then


    finally released him.


    “Let’s go.”


    The three of them left Pineworth County with the two women.


    When they returned to the capital of ndom, Andrius immediately examined Margerina’s injuries. She


    was already injured before and disfigured by Richard. It was a miracle that she did not die on the spot


    when Anton pped her in the head. Through acupuncture, Andrius managed to improve Margerina’s


    complexion slightly. She managed to wake up, but her condition was still quite grave.


    “Wolf King…” Seeing her sister in a weakened state and Andrius‘ grim expression, Katalina instantly


    had a bad feeling and choked up. “How is my sister?”


    Noir also looked over anxiously.


    Anton sighed softly while putting away the needles. “Her Majesty took a blow


    from Anton while she was already physically frail. Her condition is critical, and her vitality is fading. No


    amount of medicine or treatment will be able to help.


    “Although I can stimte the energy in her body to prolong her life, it won’t be for too long. At most…


    It’ll be around a year.”


    Katalina’s heart sank further with each word from Andrius. When he said ‘a year ‘, she felt like she was


    struck by lightning and almost fainted on the spot.


    One year…


    “Margerina… I’m sorry, Margerina…” Katalina hugged Margerina, unable to hold back her tears. “I’m


    sorry. If it weren’t for saving me, you wouldn’t have been captured by Richard!


    “If it weren’t for saving me, you wouldn’t have suffered from that beast, Anton…. It’s my fault. It’s all my


    fault…”


    At that point, Katalina’s voice became increasingly hoarse and tinged with despair.


    “No, it’s not your fault…” Margerina lifted her hand with difficulty and touched Katalina’s clean face,


    saying slowly, “Katalina, you have to live on. You must… fulfill our father’s final wish!”


    Yes, they had to fulfill their father’s final wish!


    Katalina held Margerina’s hand and raised it in the air. “I, Katalina, swear an oath that I will destroy


    Alexander and his family! I’ll avenge my father and my sister. I will. I definitely will!”


    At that point, Katalina could not hold back anymore. Crystal tears fell inrge droplets, forming a wet


    spot on her chest.


    Noir’s heart clenched upon seeing this, and he looked at Andrius.


    Andrius said, “When you two went out during the day to pray, Alexander came to invite me to Praxis


    Ind for apetition. This is a good chance to overthrow Alexander.”
