Chapter 81

Queenza flinched at Kingsley's harsh words. Her chest throbbed painfully, feeling rejected. But that feeling did not necessarily dominate her heart and make her angry. She realized something had happened to Kingsley when the man went looking for Kevlar. And that must have hurt Kingsley's heart so deeply that it aroused his unstoppable anger.

"Colan."

Kingsley's voice could be heard echoing in the vast courtyard of the Ackerley Kingdom. Queenza shifted, placing herself next to Kingsley. It doesn't matter that at the moment Kingsley is rejecting her harshly; Queenza is still the Queen who must stand by his side.

"I’m very disappointed in you," Kingsley continued. "You have absolutely no respect for our past friendship."

By sharpening her sense of sight, Queenza could see Colan stunned where he was standing. Then suddenly, the king of the Echidnas darted, cutting the distance between them and standing about three meters in front of Kingsley and Queenza.
