Chapter 508: Aldric's Pet

Maxi stormed into Issac's room, her frustration palpable in the tense set of her shoulders and the fiery gleam in her eyes. As soon as her eyes rested on Issac, she wasted no time in getting straight to the point, her voice edged with urgency and exasperation.

"Please tell me you have good news," Maxi demanded, her words laced with a sense of desperation. It was clear that she had reached her breaking point, her patience worn thin by the endless stream of challenges and obstacles she had faced since imprisoning Aldric.

The events of the past day had left Maxi reeling, her hopes of a swift resolution shattered by the relentless onslaught of dissent and defiance in the castle. One would think that with Aldric subdued, things would be better. But no, it was way worse.
