The Valkyrie Returns and Slays (Raven) novel Chapter 504

Chapter 504 Introducing A Man

A crisp slap echoed through the room.

Thorian’s head was whipped to the side from the force of it.

Yet, as if he didn’t even feel the burning pain on his cheek, his eyes were filled with complete disbelief.

At that moment, Raven’s voice, cold to the point of being utterly emotionless, cut through the silence and entered Thorian’s

ears.

She spat, “I don’t want to hear anyone slandering Cassian. Understood?”

Thorian slowly turned his head toward Raven, almost in slow motion.

As he gazed up at her icy, indifferent expression, a chill crept into his heart.

He wondered, ‘She really went this far for that pretty boy?

‘I’ve done so much for her, and she still can’t spare me even a little affection?

‘What does that useless pretty boy Cassian have that I don’t?‘

The realization hit him hard, and the plan he’d been carefully plotting, to make Cassian disappear and take his place, was no longer something he could suppress.

He asked bluntly, “I’ve been by your side for so long. Do I really mean less to you than Cassian, who’s barely even known you?”

Raven’s gaze grew even colder as she snapped, “Don’t compare yourself to him.”

Thorian’s body froze at her words. Then, with a bitter smile, he curled the corner of his lips.

“Do you really think I risked my life for you, carried out all those dangerous missions, just for power and status? The reason I stayed by your side… is because I like you. I love you!”

‘I said it.

‘I finally said it!‘ Thorian’s thoughts raced.
