Chapter 214 Brax's Confession

• The atmosphere in the dimly lit chamber was tense, the air heavy with anticipation. Brax sat bound to a sturdy wooden chair, his face streaked with sweat and dirt. The faint glow of Ariella’s staff illuminated the room, casting long shadows that danced across the stone walls.
• Raelen stood by the door, his hand resting on the hilt of his sword, while Seraphine leaned casually against the wall, twirling one of her daggers. Ariella stepped forward, her voice calm but firm. “Brax, you need to tell us everything. If there’s any chance of stopping the Queen’s plans, we need the truth.”
• Brax’s gaze flickered between them, his expression a mix of fear and defiance. “You think you can stop her? The Queen of Thorns has already won. She has eyes everywhere. Even now, she knows you’ve captured me.”
