"My lord!" Skylar gasped, his body collapsing in exhaustion as he stared helplessly at Lord Southmere. "My lord, this isn't how I wanted it to end...."

Rhett's smile was tinged with bitterness, "Skylar, you've followed me for years, yet you understand the value of life.

"Life's short. Death doesn't matter. It's how you die that counts.

"I'm a lord, and even death for me carries dignity. You? You're just a servant, even in death. You lack

courage.

"What happened to the fire you had when you went after your sister's killer?

"What happened to the guts you showed when you took two bullets for me?

""You've forgotten it all.

"If you've forgotten the hate you felt for the landowner's son-the one who tormented you and your family-then you've already betrayed everything you stood for." Rhett sighed deeply. "You were barely a man for ten years. The rest of your life is nothing but animal

Instinct.

"My lord!" Lord Southmere's guards burst into the room.

Rhett raised a hand. "Mr. Josington, tell them to leave at once."

Mr. Josington's eyes were wet with tears. "My lord, the men have followed you for so long. They want to be with you in your last moments.

Rhett's sigh was heavy. "Listen, you're not holding guns for me. You hold them because it's your duty as soldiers.

"This nation was bought with blood. I won't let you ruin it. Now, leave."

The guards stood in perfect formation, saluting once before marching out of the room, standing at attention outside the villa.

Robin stepped toward Lord Southmere.

Mr. Josington's hand went instinctively to his sidearm.

Robin's eyes met Rhett's, a silent understanding passing between them.

Rhett gave a small nod. "General Ramsey, don't bother. With wounds like mine, I'm beyond help.

"But at least take comfort in knowing I've given you and the world what they deserve. This is where it ends

for me.

Robin's face was unreadable. "Don't speak. The more you say, the quicker you'll die."

Mr. Josington, Eithan, Kimberly, and the others glared at Robin in fury.

Eithan immediately blocked his path. "Stop! If you lay linger on my grandfather, I swear I'll fight you to the death."

Robin's hand halted in midair. "Do you want him to die faster? Step aside."

Nigel took a step forward. "Eithan, don't be foolish! General Ramsey is only trying to assess your grandfather's injuries. "There's no one in all of Draconia with better medical skills. Even Wilder learned from him."

Jayden moved closer and gently tapped Eithan on the shoulder. "Eithan, move aside."

Robin moved swiftly, pressing on several key points on Rhett's body to stop the blood pouring from his wounds.

"Three bullets have pierced his heart. It's shattered. One major artery is severed. There's no saving him.

"His body won't last more than two hours."

Rhett let out a soft laugh. "If I can finish this one last task, then I'll be at peace."

Kimberly shot a furious glare at Robin. "Weren't you supposed to be some miracle doctor? What a joke! Why couldn't you save my grandfather? Or Renee and the others? You're nothing but a fake!" Robin gave her a brief glance but said nothing.

He checked his watch, then turned toward Renec.

If Martin and the others didn't arrive with Southstar and Pythoncrown within the next ten minutes, n one, not even a god, could save Renee and Lorelei.

Jayden leaned in close to Robin, his voice barely audible. "General Ramsey, are you sure there's no hope

for Rhett?"

Robin looked at Marge and Renee, then nodded.

Jayden stood still for a moment, his face twisted in disbelief.

Then, shaking his head, he walked over to Lord Southmere and pointed at him, shouting. "Rhett, you old fool, you can't die, do you hear me?

"Just a few days ago, you told me you uncovered a secret about that past incident, and you promised to tell

me soon.

"You still haven't told me anything! How can you just die like this?"

Rhett raised his hand weakly. "Jayden, my old friend, we've fought and argued our whole lives. But I know our bond has never changed.

I haven't fully verified the secret. I can't tell you yet. It could cause chaos.noveldrama

"I have spent my life following Dragon Lord, fighting many enemies over my lifetime, earning glory along

the way.

"My later years have been failures.

"But at least today, I can put it all to rest. That's something"

He waved toward his closest friends. "We've fought and bickered for our whole lives. Today, let's put an end to it.

"What I'm proud of is that I've lived honestly, never forgetting who I am.

"Brothers, if there's another life and fate allows it, let's follow Dragon Lord again and cause some chaos!"

On the eastern edge of Brighton, the road leading to the Fioris' villa was a flurry of activity.

Forty military vehicles raced toward the villa, each carrying soldiers from Draconia's most formidable force, the Golden Dragon Guard.

elite and

Inside the second vehicle of the convoy, Levi and Jack sat, their faces tense but composed.

Jack quickly skimmed the message from Flint before speaking.

"General Monroe, two minutes ago, Lord Southmere was shot three times-two bullets hit his heart, and one severed a major artery. He's in critical condition."

Levi's eyes widened at the news, though he quickly regained his composure.

Jack went on, "After killing Kieran, Rhett shot himself twice, trying to leave Skylar some explanation. The third shot came from Skylar himself."

"The Dragon Guards have taken the entire Fioris family into custody."

Levi sighed deeply. "Rhett, always the same."

After a brief pause, he issued orders. "This situation could change at any moment. I want the Golden Dragon Guard to reach the villa's perimeter immediately and secure it. We also need to keep an eye on the movements of the Seven Great Royal Houses." "If things go south, we'll put the emergency plan into action."

Upon

receiving the Golden Dragon Order, Misael of the Golden Dragon Guard gave swift commands.

His 300 soldiers, already stationed at the villa's perimeter, moved to control all entry points.

With Lord Southmere's guard still inside, the guards from the other six great royal houses were ordered to retreat nearly half a mile away awaiting further orders,

Levi and Jack had just reached the villa's outer perimeter when Martin, Wilder, Shirley, Daphne, and Rita

arrived.

Jack quickly moved toward Martin, his voice urgent. "Old Mr. Wright, did you bring the items?"

"After I got the message, I had Ms. West and Ms. Dunn retrieve Southstar and Pythoncrown. I also invited Mr. Lennon to join us. What's happening now?"
