"H-he... he-help..." Stevan pleaded with a choked voice, literally. However, nobody dared to come closer when they saw the Summerian monarch's murderous expression.
He looked terrifying. So, they decided not to mess with him.
Maxim tossed Stevan to the ground like he would toss trash and then stepped on the older man's head with one leg. "Your men kidnapped my mother. Tell me where you keep her."
"Aaaahh...!!" Stevan growled in pain when Maxim pressed his leg down on his temple.
"TELL ME WHERE SHE IS! YOU PIECE OF SHIT!!" Maxim impatiently kicked the man's head and Stevan instantly wailed pitifully.
Maxim knew his mother was probably held in a secret location in the capital because she was too ill to travel all the way to Astland. It means, they had traitors in the royal palace who could enter secretly and then bring the old queen to a hidden place.
