Argentos stopped in front of Cedric, but the man did not say anything and just stared at him for a long moment.
This made Cedric ponder.
'Does he know that I have taken over as a Lord?' He couldn't help but worry. After all, he had promised to put an end to everything, and that meant putting an end to the Lords. With him now holding the title, it would look like he had planned this from the start.
He worried that Argentos might think he had fooled him into helping kill Lim just so he could take over.
Suddenly, while he was still in that train of worry, another one hit him even harder.
How am I going to put an end to everything if I am a Lord myself? The Oracles of the Empire say that to stop the bridges, all the Lords must be killed. What am I supposed to do now?
With every thought, Cedric's heart raced faster.
It was quite the dilemma that he suddenly found himself in.
'This is one hell of a checkmate situation.'
He couldn't help but sigh wearily.
