NIKOLAI listened to Kyle Sprouse.
He listened to everything.
From the moment Kyle said he had received Juliet's Blood Moon Ring from an anonymous sender, and up to the moment the count deactivated the barrier in the palace to let the God of Recollection in.
He heard the traitor loud and clear, but he didn't understand a thing.
"You did everything for Juliet?" Nikolai asked through gritted teeth, then he grabbed the cell bars separating him from the traitor. "You did everything to create the 'perfect' Royal Family? That's it? That's the only reason you betrayed me and sold my children out?!"
To say that he was angry would be an understatement.
For the first time in a while, his whole body was shaking in anger. His Mana was fluctuating and threatening to explode. But he was holding back because the underground prison where Mona threw Kyle in was below Yule Palace. It was the secret underground cell that the previous emperors would use if they wanted to punish someone personally.
