Starvos was alarmed as he saw the man had disappeared. While this girl looked oddly dangerous, the man had a more menacing vibe that one should avoid. He glared at Iris again only to feel the girl, Betty running after him. Her heels made no sound as she sprinted and by the time Starvos found her again, she was right beside his face. Her scythe went across Starvos arm, wanting to severe it and rendering him useless without the two working limbs. How happy was she to find the man hadn’t dodge her attack and had instead let his arm to guard his neck but she frowned as her scythe didn’t taste the blood of the werewolf. She looked again to find how his arm had become bigger and stronger, causing the blade to stop right at his skin, only drawing a slight trace of blood. “Tch werewolf,” she clicked her tongue and without hesitating she continued her swift attack, moving her left and right scythe before throwing it over to his neck. Starvos didn’t attack and had rather dodged the attack. He

Now that they know the food and drinks were poisonous, Dominic had quickly alarmed the servants to do whatever it cost to stop bringing in more food to the party hall. It would have been foolish to believe the words of someone who they aren’t well acquainted with but Dominic believed in Rose and the gut feeling that he had been having this entire time. Something was wrong in this party. Someone who aren’t invited had waltzed themselves in their house. Entering the party again, Dominic took one of the wine that the servant had brought back to the kitchen. To avoid suspicion, he then said aloud, “Ladies and gentlemen, may I have a little of your attention for now?” Everyone’s eyes fell to him at once. Dominic didn’t have to shout too loudly as just one word from him had brought a stop to the conversation in the room. Thankfully, the King’s and his people had not arrived, making this easy for him, “Truthfully, my beloved grandparents have been preparing a little surprise for us. Today’

Rose thought that this was her chance. To add, this woman needs only her help once which she was sure she could seeing that the woman had also helped her by protecting her and Dominic. Carefully settling her hands on the woman’s, she then found the woman smile sadly. While her lips were curled upward, her eyes were filled with sadness. She couldn’t help but reached out her hand, settling it on the corner of the woman’s eyes as tears had appeared there. By the time Rose come to realization, she noticed the woman had disappeared, leaving her alone as though from the beginning she had met no person in sight. Rose looked back at her hand that had just held the woman’s fingers not long ago. She wondered what had changed in her as she couldn’t feel anything changing inside her, as though nothing happened. She wondered if she has truly a power now but had no time as Dominic was pushed to the corner even more by the sorcerers. Running back to the corner of the party halls, she found Domini

Starvos who had stepped forward scared her more and more. It was the same fear one would have when seeing a person who was presumably called dead coming back to the living. He was standing as though his organs hadn’t been destroyed by the poison. The blood stains were still there yet he looked fine. “Impossible! Impossible!” Betty shouted in fright. “It makes no sense! You were dying! Then why are you alright now?! This makes no sense!” Starvos didn’t reply and instead grabbed her by the wrist. Betty who was too surprised to know couldn’t help but lower her guard. Her wrist was shattered to powder at once when Starvos tightened his grip, causing for her to release her grip on the scythe she held. As the loud clank echoed from the falling scythe, Starvos picked them up in a languid movement. “You! You are not a simple werewolf!” She shouted, trying to remove herself from him but his tight hold was too strong for her to break away from. She screamed again, “No one told me about this!

Rose couldn’t describe the reason for the man’s trust in her but she didn’t feel flattered at all. Her heart was heavy at the thought of how Dominic was running out of breaths. She had questions she needed answer from but she didn’t want to ask it now. She was pretending to inquire the sorcerers questions just to push the time longer. After closing her eyes she then said, “Let me talk to him again.” Natty shrugged his shoulders, simply letting her as she had no more path for herself to escape as she had reached the wall. Rose bent down to hold Dominic’s hand and she whispered gently beside his ears while holding her quivering breaths, “Everything will be alright. Everything.” Dominic couldn’t voice out his words again as the poison had taken his ability to speak. Unhesitatingly Rose leaned forward and kissed Dominic on his lips, startling the sorcerer who quickly pulled her away. This was suicide! She had kissed Dominic whose blood had been covered in poison. It was no different t
