Ishakan held Leah tight, one arm about her back and the other pulling her hips against him.

“I’ll kill him later,” he whispered affectionately in her ear. “There’s no need to do it in front of you.”

Blain’s eyes bulged as Ishakan pointedly ignored him, as if he were an insect unworthy of his notice.

“You think I’ll leave you alone?” He shouted, enraged, and Ishakan’s head swung toward him.

“You seem so eager to die. There’s no need for it,” he explained. “I’ve thought of a better punishment for you.”

He paused to let the weight of the words sink in.

“Wait until the final moment arrives.”

Cerdina immediately headed for Leah’s palace. She wanted to pull that damned bitch’s hair out. The slut needed educating, and Cerdina didn’t care if overusing her power destroyed her in the process.

She would show her what it meant to obey. When she was done with her, Leah would never dare to act so arrogant again.

Cerdina still couldn’t believe that Leah had actually dared to defy her.

Thinking of the moment when Leah gave her that glass bottle, Cerdina walked faster. But before she even left her own palace, she staggered to a halt in the middle of the corridor. She had to bite back a scream.

“……!”

Collapsing to the floor, she wrapped trembling arms around herself, retching as she raked at her chest with her own fingernails. She gagged again and again, choked, suffocating, and finally vomited up black blood onto the white marble floor.

Slowly, she swiped the blood away with the back of her hand.

“It can’t be…” She muttered dizzily.
