“Oh? Am I that lucky?”

“Caden…”
Despite his grievous injuries, Sage ignored the risk of being killed in the crossfire. Crawling forward, he desperately tried to shield his commander’s child.

“Are you scared?” Scarlet’s bloodied lips curled into a grin. “I’m at my peak right now. Didn’t you say earlier that the victor would claim a prize?”
“Is it for the child? Or to deftat me?” Yorick gestured toward the tiger carrying the child.
“To defeat you is the grand finale. The child is the prize. It’s a perfect arrangement.”
