The old man was not trying to save his sons anymore. He already understood that was impossible. Instead, he simply did not want to personally witness their deaths.
The forr king slowly exhaled afterward before calmly taking several steps forward. "Sir Mic," he said steadily, "I hope that with my life, you will at least see so sincerity from this kingdom."
