Roscoe said, let the old man go in and heal Sean and Cecilia!
But Cecilia woke up! She responded with a single pebble!
One stone! Four lives!
That includes a Complete Stage practitioner like the old man!
This! This was not only Cecilia’s response, but also an undisguised challenge and intimidation!
You’re not afraid of death! Just come!!!
“This…”
“This… this…”
Roscoe and the rest looked at each other, their hearts trembling violently, they quietly swallowed saliva, their sweat-soaked clothes sticking to their back!
Damn!
Damn!
Damn it!!!
Everyone was shocked, they couldn’t believe their eyes, nor their ears!
Was that… Cecilia’s voice?
How is it possible!
How can it be!!!
Even a fool could see that Cecilia was clearly more severely injured than Sean. Even if she survived by luck, she absolutely wouldn’t have the strength to fight again!
Is she a monster???
Despite her injuries, she was still terrifying to this extent, killing four people with one pebble!
If! If Roscoe and his men rush in recklessly, what would be the consequence?
The one who dies! Would it be Roscoe? Prince Adam? Or Prince Lillard?
In their shock, Roscoe and others felt a lingering fear, especially Prince Adam and Prince Lillard. They were relieved that they had been stopped by Roscoe and Luna Porter and hadn’t charged in directly!
Otherwise! The consequences would be unimaginable!!!
Just a single move! Cecilia completely extinguished the idea of Roscoe and others to eliminate them, completely extinguishing their courage to rush into the Hall of Throne!
So! “Miss Moore, please don’t misunderstand!”
Roscoe quickly said respectfully: “I truly had good intentions, worried about Miss Moore and General Mason’s injuries, absolutely no other thoughts!”
“Since! Miss Moore and General Mason are unharmed, then I can rest assured…”
Those words! Even Roscoe himself didn’t believe them, but he had no choice. Unable to kill Sean and Cecilia, he could only appease them, hoping to ease the relationship between them!
At least! He cannot risk his own life!!!
“Get out!”
Cecilia’s cold voice echoed from the Hall of Throne!
She! She told Roscoe and the others to get out!
Roscoe and the others looked as ugly as if they had eaten shit!
Yet! With King Ron’s death as a precedent, they dared not act rashly!
“Alright!”
Gritting his teeth, Roscoe endured, and said in a deep voice: “Then Miss Moore and General Mason rest well, if there’s anything you need, feel free to ask!”
After saying that! Roscoe waved his hand, signaling: “Let’s go!”
“Follow me! Let’s restore order to the royal city!”
Sean and Cecilia were authentic Bright Realm practitioners, Roscoe dared not provoke them. But today, with the drastic changes in the royal city and King Ron’s death, Roscoe had many urgent tasks!
The most pressing task! It was to swiftly control the royal city, thoroughly sweep away the remnants of King Ron’s forces, and firmly grasp the throne in his own hands!
“What’s going on?”
Watching Roscoe and the others withdraw from the ninety-fifth stone steps, Tim Lewis and the others secretly sighed in relief, but their hearts were filled with shock and disbelief!
Cecilia’s state was unseen by Roscoe and others, but the three of them had witnessed it with their own eyes!
Even! Spirit Wolf personally examined Cecilia’s injuries!
So! Tim Lewis turned to look at Spirit Wolf!
Pupil Wolf also turned around, facing Spirit Wolf, clearly wanting Spirit Wolf to give a reasonable explanation!
Spirit Wolf was embarrassed!
“I…”
Spirit Wolf glanced back into the Hall of Throne, lowered his voice, and said with a bitter face: “Don’t look at me with such suspicious and contemptuous eyes, I swear, Cecilia she…”
“She’s really beyond saving!”
“Maybe…”
After thinking about it, Spirit Wolf speculated: “Maybe it’s the last burst of energy before death???”
Apart from that! Spirit Wolf really couldn’t think of any other explanation!!!
However! Regardless of the reason, Cecilia suddenly woke up, demonstrated her power, and successfully scared away Roscoe and the others. This resolved the imminent crisis, giving Tim Lewis, Pupil Wolf, and Spirit Wolf renewed hope for survival…
… At that moment! In the Hall of Throne! Cecilia indeed woke up, but not as Roscoe and others thought, with the strength to fight again, nor was it a brief resurgence as Spirit Wolf speculated. Instead, Cecilia had consumed the last drop of Liane Field’s blood within her body! Additionally, she had also burned through the last of her frail body’s potential!
That attack! It was the last blow Cecilia, or perhaps Liane Field, could muster!
Had Roscoe and others not been scared off by that attack, determined to charge in and kill Sean and Cecilia…
Then! Sean and Cecilia would have had no choice but to await death! There was no other way!
Fortunately! Having already secured the throne, Roscoe was more cautious than usual, unwilling to gamble his future and life, and chose to retreat!
“Liane!!!”
Sean had not expected that the first thing Cecilia would do upon waking up would be to strike a blow to warn the others, saving him from the encirclement. By the time he reacted and tried to stop her, it was already too late! Just like with the old man! He was one step too late!
Following that attack, Cecilia, who was already on the brink of death, was further weakened. Sean watched helplessly as a stream of fresh blood flowed from Cecilia’s mouth, followed by her eyes, nose, and ears!
Streams of blood were continuously gushing out, flowing over Cecilia’s already blood-stained cheeks. The sight was truly unbearable to witness!
“Liane!”
“Liane!”
“Liane!!!”
Sean used all his strength to prop up his body, tightly embracing Cecilia. In his eyes, the hot tears he had been forcefully holding back could no longer be restrained. Like a dam breaking, they gushed out continuously!
“Wuu…”
“Wuuuuuuu…”
Sean cried!
He cried heartbreakingly!
He cried as if he wished he were dead!
From childhood to adulthood! As a man standing upright, Sean had shed blood, shed tears, but he had never wept like this before, had never had an emotional breakdown like this before! Never!
Even when he was wrongly imprisoned five years ago, even when he heard the terrible news about Nicola Wright, even when he learned of his father Parker Mason’s disappearance! Sean had never lost control like this before!
Because! At that time, at those times, he had anger in his heart, he had hatred. The rage and hatred towards the Mason family did not grant him the privilege to cry!
Crying! It wouldn’t solve any problems!
But now! The main culprit, King Ron, was already dead, who else could Sean hate???
When you are filled with massive rage and endless hatred, but find no one to blame, it is truly a tragic situation!
Sad!
At this moment! Embracing Cecilia’s body, facing Liane’s spirit, Sean’s heart was filled with indescribable sorrow!!!
“Sean…”
Just when Sean was about to suffocate from crying, Cecilia’s incredibly weak voice rang in his ear: “Don’t cry!”
“Don’t cry!”
“Let mom see you!”
“Let mom have a good look at you…”
Sean’s body stiffened, then slowly, he released Cecilia. Cecilia’s eyes were still continuously bleeding. Those bloody eyes stared straight at Sean! She stared at Sean for a full half minute!
“It’s all mom’s fault!”
The weak voice came from Cecilia’s also bleeding mouth, yet it was Liane Field’s tone, a mother’s tone: “It’s all my fault, I’ve made you suffer over the years…”
“Liane!”
Sean sobbed: “It’s my fault!”
“It’s my fault!”
“I couldn’t find you, couldn’t save father, couldn’t protect Cecilia, and even involved Phyllis at such a young age!”
“I…”
“I’m a goddamn failure!!!”
“Wuuuu…”
Five years! A whole five years!
Ever since Nicola Wright passed away five years ago, Sean had been roaming the north, galloping through the battlefield for five years, honing his body into an impenetrable shield, his heart into a beacon of righteousness. Now, after five years, for the first time, he had a mother again, and once more tasted the sweetness of maternal love!
So, to hell with the title of General of the South!
In front of Liane Field, he cried like a child!
In front of his mother! He was still that little boy who would cry when he felt wronged!!!
“Stop!”
“Don’t be afraid!”
Cecilia lifted her hand, reaching out to wipe the tears from Sean’s cheeks, speaking as she did, “Sean, don’t be afraid. I’m here, nothing will happen.”
“Cecilia is a good girl, she is my daughter-in-law!”
“You and her! Both of you will be fine!”
“I won’t let anything happen to you!”
Speaking, she turned to look at the huge crack in the floor, indicating, “The altar is still there, Cecilia still has hope!”
“There is still hope for survival!!!”
