Chapter 174 Out Of Her Mind
Raven's voice wasn't loud, but it struck the courtyard like a thunderclap from the heavens, crashing straight into
everyone's mind.
For a moment, the entire crowd stood frozen, stunned into silence.
They couldn't believe what they'd just heard.
Kill... a King Warrior? As a sacrifice?
Had she lost her mind?
Even Benson's face turned grim, his gaze locking onto Raven with a darkness
that seemed to suck the warmth from the air.
His voice was low and sharp as a whip crack. "Shut your
mouth."
He had never in his life seen a woman this ignorant of death.

Did she even understand what a King Warrior was?
Ordinary weapons couldn't even scratch someone at that level.
The only way to truly injure one was to unleash city-level, wide-scale annihilation weapons-ones that would leave
a metropolis in ashes.
And yet, here she was, treating such a figure like cannon fodder, casually talking about killing him, as if she were
ordering a drink.
Was she delusional? She wanted to die? Fine. But dragging the entire city of Regalhold down with her?
Even as Benson's glare grew murderous, the Sunset Empire's commander suddenly chuckled-a cold, razor-edged
laugh that sent shivers down the crowd's spine. "Ten days? That's generous," he said. "I could kill you right now."
As the words left his lips, a suffocating pressure radiated outward from his body. The very air twisted, thick with
killing intent.
Fear rippled through the crowd like a tidal wave. Faces paled. Seven took an involuntary step back.
A King Warrior's presence was utterly overwhelming.
Even Edric, who had held great hope for Raven, found his brow tightening.
As impressive as she was, it was nearly impossible to believe someone of her had truly stepped into the realm of
King Warriors. And if she hadn't... then her provocation wasn't just reckless-it was suicide.

Benson, too, stiffened. His gaze snapped to Raven, and his tone turned lethal. "Mr. Ortega may not be a
Vyrdenian citizen, but his rank in Sunset Empire is equivalent to that of a general. You-an acting officer-just
threatened to assassinate a superior. According to military law, that's punishable by death."

His eyes raked over her, cold and dismissive. "But considering your youth... and the
fact that you're a woman, I'll be merciful. Get on your knees. Apologize to the Sunset Empire's commander. If Mr.
Ortega doesn't forgive you, you don't get to stand back up."
Raven didn't answer.
She merely stared at him, slowly curling her hands into fists, the fire in her eyes growing colder by the second.
There was no need to shout. Her silence was loud enough.
She had heard complaints from her men on the foreign battlefield-grumblings about how Vyrdenia's high
command always folded when facing pressure from other nations, even surrendering hard-won victories to
appease their enemies. But she had always dealt with Lorne. She never truly understood what they meant.

Now, she finally saw why Vyrdenia could win battle after battle, yet still never earn an ounce of respect from the
defeated.
Because of cowards like Benson-men who bowed to monsters that had butchered
their own countrymen.
When she still didn't speak, Benson's face darkened further. "Did you not hear my
command?"
Raven finally smiled-but it wasn't one of amusement.
It was bitter, cutting, and full of venom.
"For the longest time," she said quietly, "I wondered why Vyrdenia wins every war abroad... but still commands
no respect from its enemies."
Her gaze turned razor-sharp.
"Now | know." She paused, her voice dropping to a blade's edge.
"It's because there are too many spineless cowards in the military-like you-who
kneel to the very butchers that slaughtered our people."
