Chapter 4112: Equal Partnership (Part 1)

“Countless allies! The Black Throne had countless allies!” Salanoth said through air magic, her host finally allowed to regenerate. “And every one of them died—of old age or in battle. Every single one!”

“The trinket is correct,” the Black Throne replied. “There’s a vast difference between an alliance—no matter how reluctant—and coercion, no matter how rewarding. I want you to fight for us.

“If you fight for me, you’ll betray me the moment things turn sour.”

“That’s funny,” Jorl said. “Not long ago, Orpal used almost the same logic to explain why he and Night work together despite hating each other.”

“Then your enemy isn’t as foolish as you think,” the voice answered. “You need my help more than you realize, little finch.”

“Fine.” Jorl sighed and stepped forward.
