Chapter 14 Kill Her

• “Kill her?!” Ben was so shaken that he sat down on the chair Alaric got up from. He kept shaking his head, wondering what he was hearing.
• “Aye. You see, without my dragon form, I cannot fight in the war. I can naturally recover but it shall take years and I am sure I cannot hide enough for that time. Soon, they shall find out about my waking up and they shall come. If I am not ready by then, I cannot defend myself.” Alaric turned to Ben. “If I cannot defend myself, can I protect a maiden?”
• “B-but, shouldn’t there be another way? Must you kill her?”
