Dawn approached, and only the faint dark red sparks of the fire under the mountain remained as if a strong gust of wind could blow it off.
Caspian faced the stone, watching Dwayne who was nailed in front of him, was on his last breath.
The severe injuries, blood loss, and fright would be the end of him.
The utter misery and the pain accompanied by fear made Dwayne secretly curse at himself.
Would it not be great if he were a weak mortal instead of a warrior?
That way, he would be dead and free long ago, rather than ending up in that situation.
“I’ve… named them all… Your Highness…” Dwayne uttered with incredible difficulty.
With every word he said, it felt as if a blunt knife scratched his throat.
However, Dwayne had to find strength and say he wanted to die.
“Kill… Kill me… Just please…” Dwayne pleaded weakly.
Nonetheless, Caspian only glanced coldly at Dwayne and asked indifferently, “Dwayne, have you been to the hellhole prison?”
“I…” Just as Dwayne spoke one word, he suddenly realized something, and his pupils constricted.
However, Caspian did not spare another glance at him anymore, and he turned around to leave.
“Enjoy that kind of despair.”
“Please… Kill me…” Dwayne watched as Caspian’s back went further and further into the snowstorm until he completely disappeared.
Soon, he let out a hoarse cry.
Unfortunately, his blood ran dry, so he did not have any tears left either.
***
Just as the day broke, Caspian crossed the border of Salleria and officially returned to his homeland.
It was the 7th of January, and there were 21 days before Edgar’s 30th-anniversary celebration of his ascension to the throne.
Two weeks passed in the blink of an eye, and it was now the 22nd of January.
At that time, the entire capital of Salleria appeared very lively, and few people mentioned the chaos in the imperial court a few years ago due to the passage of time.
Coupled with the fact that Carson showed great talent in cultivation and was accepted as a Great Oceans Sect’s disciple, the entire Salleria became relatively peaceful in the past few years.
Not only that, rumors went around that once Carson ascended to the throne, Salleria would no longer be just a county but a country!
Naturally, that kind of change was more exciting than opening up new frontiers.
However, no one mentioned the name that once attracted people’s attention as if the person never appeared before.
As for the reason why, it would be whether someone deliberately suppressed it, or there were other reasons why only a few people knew about it.
Salleria became a pivotal presence in several surrounding counties and countries as the Great Oceans Sect attached great importance to it.
Consequently, its status was significantly improved compared to a few years ago.
Otherwise, Edgar’s 30th-anniversary celebration of his ascension to the throne would not be organized with such great fanfare that several neighboring counties sent envoys to come and congratulate him.
Those unaware might even think Salleria capitulated the counties.
As early as a month ago, the capital of Salleria was already in the celebratory mood, and the atmosphere would be completely pushed to the climax at the end of the month on the 28th of January.
What Salleria had to do now was to make sure that the celebration was foolproof.
On the one hand, they wanted to ensure the perfect atmosphere.
