Chapter 9 The Cruelty

• FIA
• As I watched the king approach my mother, I couldn't help but shiver from the cold. It was clear that she wasn't comfortable with his actions, but he seemed completely unfazed. It didn't matter to him if she kept her distance; all he cared about was getting what he wanted.
• Meanwhile, my father was desperately trying to break free from the king's men. I could see the desperation in his eyes as he fought to protect my mother from the danger the king posed.
