The Unshackled Queen: Never Say Never

The masked man stood silently, contemplating Brysons words.

The room fell into an uneasy quiet, broken only by faint Laughter from outside the door.

After a long pause, he asked, What do you want? Bryson raised an eyebrow, clearly anticipating the question.

Simple, I want to join forces.noveldrama

Out of the question! the masked man snapped.

My master wants you caught.

Even if I agreed, others would be waiting for you as soon as you leave. Bryson nodded and said, I know that, but hear me out.

If you help me stay hidden, I can help you earn more.

Bang! The masked man slammed his fist onto the table, glaring at Bryson.

I dont care about wealth.

I serve my master with loyalty above all else.

Under no circumstances will I betray him! With that, he stood to leave.

But since you came back, Ill take you to the dungeon for my own reward! You may choose not to betray your master, Bryson said calmly, still lounging on the sofa.

Dont think you can fool me so easily.

In Twilight Dimness, there are othersthe rabbit masked man and the fox masked man, right? Bryson asked.

The tiger masked man took a few steps closer and muttered, What are you getting at? Theyre plotting against your master behind your back.

Havent you noticed? Brysons words hit like a bolt from the blue, causing the masked man to stop in his tracks, disbelief flickering in his eyes.

The atmosphere thickened, leaving only the sound of breathing and distant Laughter.

What? he growled, voice low with a mix of anger and confusion. You better have proof to support what you just said! Bryson chuckled, pulling out a small recorder from his pocket and placing it on the table.

Proof? Of course.

Just listen to whats on this recorder, and youll understand everything.

The masked man hesitated for a moment, then took the recorder from Brysons hand.

As he hit the play button, a muffled conversation began, revealing a discussion between the rabbit-masked and fox-masked individuals, outlining their plan to undermine and eventually overthrow the master.

In the recording, they carefully outlined strategies to wield their influence, incite disorder, deflect responsibility onto others, and slowly marginalize the existing Leadership.
