256 Last Resort

"Tuskan, you've failed to protect Aster," Mariette said. Tuskan was dazed with his twin sister's words. As if she was blaming everything on him, he glanced at Aster who was bruised badly and the scratches around his body was quite horrendous. Because Aster had a very thin skin, it made him look very pitiful.

Tuskan gulped, he approached Aster and Mariette slowly, and then kneeled in front of Aster who was still in Mariette's embrace. It must have been a very scary experience for Aster, because he couldn't see anything except a black figure who screamed and attacked him.

"Aster, I'm sorry…"

Mariette glared at her brother again. Tuskan was indeed careless, he was the one to blame in this, because he got tricked so easily by Emperor Charles, "Tuskan, are you really the Great King? Because what I see is a fool that got deceived easily by Charles."
