Chapter 9: The Silver-haired Assassin (2)
Syd jumped inside in a blink of an eye and pushed down the robed man onto the floor. Having a dagger piercing his shoulder, the robed man didn’t resist that strongly.
“I’m sorry I’m late, Your Highness. Please punish me later.”
Apollonia didn’t say anything as she recalled what had happened just a few moments ago.
‘That man just…’
She wasn’t seeing things. She couldn’t believe it herself, but that tall, robed man had slashed apart the barrier with his sword and stopped right in front of her. He could’ve killed her in that short moment when their eyes met, but he didn’t, and now, he was getting tied up by Syd with the dagger still in his shoulder.
“Bring a chair over. I’ll interrogate him myself.” Apollonia gestured to Syd, keeping her eyes on the man. After Syd finished tied him up and brought him to his knees, he brought a chair in front of the man. Apollonia slowly walked over and sat down.
“Take his robe off.”
