"Try and end your life again, Isaveth… and she will pay the price."
The moment she heard those words, Isaveth's body trembled.
The flames in her eyes died instantly. The woman didn't say anything; she didn't even cry. It was almost as if nothing happened,
But…
Sharnoth saw her mother's entire being crack.
The Queen stayed on her knees, the holy chains burning her flesh as they pulled her into the floor, but she didn't react.
Vexarion, who saw that, didn't react either. This wasn't the first time he had met the Queen of Nightfall. He knew how fearsome this woman was; he knew no amount of pain could ever make her scream.
But…
He had prepared something much better than mere pain.
A light smile appeared on his face. A moment later, guards entered.
They didn't speak. They simply laughed as they renewed the seals. One of them even spat on Isaveth as he passed, calling her a coward. The other slapped the eleven-year-old Sharnoth.
