Erin Lockheart's POV

I chuckled bitterly at the irony of it all. Luna's eyes widened in horror as she glanced back, only to meet Cadmus's gaze filled with profound disappointment and seething hatred. Only then was Luna able to realize the death that surrounded her and how, for the longest time, she turned a blind eye to all her wrongdoings because she wanted Cadmus to see her.

To actually see her.

Cadmus's expression hardened as he stared at Luna, his voice thick with disappointment. "You wanted me to see you, Luna," he said, each word laced with bitterness. "Well, here you are. You lost and you killed everyone."

"There's something you need to hear."I complied, settling into the chair with a mixture of curiosity and a touch of unease.

I am eager to hear your petitions to claim rulership over the Kingdom of Lunaria. The people of Lunaria are here as witnesses—they will be the ones you lead.""I hail from House Moonstone, esteemed as the firstborn son and the foremost warrior of our kingdom.

Using her blood magic, she manipulated the people of Lunaria—innocent villagers and Cadmus' own men.Forcing them to enter the garden that I had set ablaze, they screamed in agony as they stepped into the flames.I could smell them burning. It was horrible but Luna didn't mind how many lives she had to sacrifice to strike against me. Enraged, I hurled fireballs toward Luna with all my might. However, she callously used the people—servants and soldiers alike—as human shields, deflecting my attacks with their bodies.I can't carelessly attack her because that would only mean killing more innocent people."Stop it!" I screamed, "Look what you've become! Luna, you're killing everyone!""No, Erin, look at what you made me!" Luna screamed back, "This is who I became because of you! You stole everything from me!

I hope Zenn's having better luck than meAfter getting lost numerous times, I finally stumbled upon Cadmus' quarters. Finding him asleep, I seized the opportunity and pointed my sword at him, demanding, "Where's Erin?"Cadmus stirred awake, unsurprised by my sudden intrusion. He calmly responded, "I knew you'd come to rescue Erin sooner or later.""Where is she?" I pressed."Safe in her room," he assured me, "How did you manage to walk past my guards unharmed? Did you kill them all yet?"I scoffed, "I used the tunnels. Getting Erin out of here is my main priority as much as I want to end you here and now."Suddenly, a familiar voice threatened, "She won't be safe for long if you kill Cadmus."
