Chapter 308: Taking the lead

"Still, there are some ways for you to prove your allegiance, and that will make all doubts about your loyalty vanish," The king said. "First of all, you will call that subordinate of yours… the earth mage that fights with his body as well and then make him bring those three that you invited to our lands. If you do so, we will all forget this."

The king's words made the atmosphere on the tunnel change, an unmistakable aura of hostility swelling among the sea folk guests, Seadir, Coraline, and Sirenus. The king's ultimatum, demanding the capture of the sea folk warriors, had incited an intense anger in them.

Seadir's muscles tensed, fingers twitching, hinting at a desire to reach for his weapon. Coraline wore a determined expression to follow Seadir no matter what, and Sirenus was ready to kill everyone in the room.
