LTBE - Chapter 666.1: The Despairing Truth (1)

Lukas Ackermann was humankind’s greatest traitor, as well Roel’s greatest rival in his fight for Sia’s Scepter.

This was their first meeting, but the two of them had been mortal enemies for a long time. Even when Roel was an unknown small fry, Lukas had already instructed Lilian not to approach him. He didn’t know the reason behind it then, but he understood it now.

“It’s sturdier than you think. It was constructed by Charles and Carolyn. What a desperate attempt to stall for time. So it must not have been long since you arrived too, right?”
