CHATBOT: Chapter 21 - Rewrite of Ending Jude's heart was pounding in her chest as she entered the chamber. The air was thick with tension, and her grip tightened on the dagger hidden in her cloak. As she approached the figure sitting on the throne, she could see the glint of mischief in their eyes. "Looks like we're at the endgame, Jude," Cardan said, his voice dripping with sarcasm. She swallowed, her fingers itching to draw the blade. "I've had enough of your games, Cardan. This ends now." The corners of his lips twitched, a devilish smile curving them.
