The Scarred Queen's Rise (Athena) novel Chapter 759

Chapter 759

If Michael died, Athena would definitely be destroyed with him.

Michael struggled violently, shouting, “Ray, I have to kill you!”

Seeing Athena hurt herself is more painful than killing him.

“Atheny, come back to me. Don’t be obsessed anymore.” Ray’s voice was full of entreaty. “I can let Michael go, and I can let the people of the whole city go. As long as you come back to me, all this will come to an end.

Athena’s eyes swept over the dense Northcold army under the city tower, and then looked at the people huddled in the corners of the city.

They had sallow faces and chapped lips.

The child huddled in the mother’s arms, his breath weak. “Mom, I’m so thirsty.”

The woman looked at the child’s pale face, bit her lip, cut her wrist with a knife, and let the child suck her blood. “Drink, I have water here.”

The child swallowed unconsciously, but the woman’s face became paler and paler.

Such poor situations were everywhere.

If it were delayed any longer, the consequences would only become more and more serious.

Athena’s heart felt like it was being tightly grasped by an invisible hand, and it hurt so much that she could hardly breathe.

How ridiculous. The lives of everyone in the city depended on her decision.

As long as she agreed to Ray’s request, everything would go back to square one.

Northcold would withdraw its troops, and Ray would no longer massacre the city.

The people would return to their peaceful lives.

Athena looked at the distant mountains and gently closed her eyes.

“I’ll go with you,” she said.

As the words squeezed out from between her teeth, the wind on the city tower suddenly stopped.

Ray was stunned, seemingly not expecting her to be so straightforward.

Athena’s voice was calm, but with an unquestionable determination. “I agree to marry you, but you must agree to two conditions. You must not harm a single one in the city within three days, and you must not lay a finger on General Osborne.

“Three days later, I will open the city gate and personally go to your camp to marry you.”

“Athena!” Michael struggled violently, looking at her with horror, “No, you can’t marry him.”

He didn’t even blink when he was whipped by the Northcold people, but when he heard Athena’s decision, Michael’s eyes turned red.

He had never been so helpless as he was now.

It was his uselessness that failed to protect Athena.

He was the one who deserved to die.

Michael shouted at Athena with all his strength, “Athena, do not open the city gate. Don’t worry about me.”

As he spoke, he bit his tongue hard.

Ray was shocked and shouted, “He’s going to bite his tongue and kill himself. Don’t let him die.”

The guards rushed forward and knocked Michael unconscious, saving him.
