Chapter 1723

Tears welled in Debra’s eyes and blurred her vision. ‘Darryl, I may not survive tonight. I won’t be able to stay by

your side and serve you anymore in the future.’

Soon, Debra was taken to the Supervision Unit.

That was where Florian handled his official duties.

Whoa!

Debra was stunned as soon as she entered the Supervision Unit hall.

There were no instruments to torture her for the truth. Instead, there was a table of a sumptuous feast—the food

was steaming hot, and it smelled great.

‘What’s going on?’

Debra was a wise and intelligent woman—the scene blew her mind.

“All of you, go!”

Florian waved at the royal guards.

“Yes, Master!” The guards responded quickly before they retreated.

Only Florian and Debra were left in the huge hall.

Florian showed a slight smile on his face. He approached Debra before he waved his sword to cut the rope around

Debra’s hand. Then, he said, “Miss Debra, I’m sorry that you’re frightened!”

“What do you mean?” Debra frowned. She took a step backward to move further away from Florian; she was on

her guard.

When she saw Florian’s politeness and guileful act, Debra wondered about Florian’s ulterior move.

Ugh!

Florian sighed; he was helpless. He sat by the table, took a glass of wine, and drank it. Then, he looked at Debra and

said, “Miss Debra, I know that you and your friends in prison hate me very much, but I can’t help it. I can’t help it!”

Debra blinked in confusion. She did not reply to Florian.

Florian continued to say, “Yes, I’ve done a lot of things to Darryl. I’ve always thought about my glory and prosperity,

but I’ve changed since the death of the New World Emperor.

“The Emperor thought very highly of me. I thought that I had support and I could live without worry for the rest of

my life. Just when I was riding high, the Emperor had died. Even though Lord Kenny has been good to me since he

became the Emperor, I know that he does not trust me entirely.”

Florian feigned a miserable look when he spoke as he observed Debra’s expression discreetly.

Debra remained quiet as she grunted disdainfully in her mind.

‘I would be surprised if Lord Kenny trusts a double edge sword like you. You’re unreliable!

Phew!

Florian took a deep breath and continued with a wry smile. “I realized no matter the strength of my support; it

might just collapse at any time. I’ll never forget Darryl’s fearlessness and imposing aura when he challenged the

New World Royals. What he did woke me up; I have to be independent, and I should always remember my roots.

“I was wrong before; I’ve been terribly wrong! Do you know that I felt horrible when Donoghue shot and killed Sir

Carter last night? I wanted to set all of you free, but I couldn’t do that. There were too many royal guards.

“No matter what you think of me, I can only try to make up for my mistakes now. I figured a way out and took you

first to avoid being noticed…”

Florian looked serious; he sounded sincere.

“You—”

Debra’s lips parted slightly; she was still doubtful. “Do you really think so?”

Thud!

All of a sudden, Florian knelt on the ground. Tears streamed down his cheeks as he blamed himself guiltily. “Miss

Debra, Darryl trusts you the most. I can only tell you these things, and you’re the first one I rescued. If you don’t

believe me, then kill me.”

Florian offered his sword to Debra.

Debra did not take it; her beautiful eyes looked at Florian with suspicion.

Who would believe that a man, who had done evil deeds, to repent so suddenly?

“Miss Debra, you can take a look outside. I have removed all the guards!” Florian said sincerely as he pointed

outside. “You can go now! I will never stop you! I just hope that you’ll find Darryl as soon as possible after you get

out of here. I’ll help you both from the inside as we work together to release everyone from the World Universe!”
