Chapter 774

Chapter 119 : An Unexpected Alliance

Payne, Thomas, and all of Soren’s men stood there, shocked looks on their faces.

I imagined they’d come into the dungeon to rescue us and met a dead end in a passage that was supposed to be open, and they were left wondering what to do.

“Miss Mila, you’re okay!” Payne exclaimed. I noticed the look of relief in his eyes.

Thomas grinned. He made a motion, like he was wiping sweat off his brow.

I was just as happy to see them as they were to see me.

Payne and Thomas did a quick glance around, evaluating the situation.

“Finally, we can make ourselves useful!” Thomas whistled, his eyes darted over to the army and he immediately led an assault on the puppet soldiers that were swarming Soren.

Payne was staring at the king, his eyes were focused on the thorny root around Dylan’s neck.

Dylan was practically unrecognizable. He was covered in dirt and his clothes were torn. It wasn’t what a king would normally look like. I was keeping a close eye on Dylan, making sure he wasn’t going to try and sneak away.

“Is that…” Payne followed my gaze.

“The Alpha King,” I confirmed. “He is going to lead us out. Isn’t that right, Your Majesty?” I raised my voice at the end so he’d hear me clearly.

Payne balked and stared at the dirty, disheveled king. He looked more like a war prisoner than royalty.

“Well… Surely,” Dylan muttered. “If you could loosen this root… that would be even better.” He pointed at his neck.

I arched an eyebrow at him.

“I’m not sure what the royal guards would think if they saw this. Better they don’t think you’re threatening me,” Dylan pressed.

I turned to Payne. “Can you please ensure that His Majesty is ‘taken care of?’ I don’t want him… slipping away.”

The corner of Payne’s mouth twitched. “Yes, of course, Miss Mila.” Payne motioned Dylan over and the king complied.

As slippery and crafty as Dylan was, Payne wouldn’t let him get away.

I made the root go away the moment Payne had him surrounded by our men.

Payne moved Dylan out of the way of the puppet warriors.

I turned my attention back to Soren and Thomas. With his reinforcements, Soren was finally able to subdue Sebastian in a way that made the puppet warriors back off.

It looked like the situation was starting to get under control.
