Wysteria POV
When the lanterns were lit, and crowds gathered in the banquet hall, I was still staring at the arriving carriages through the window.
The sights of nobles in fake masks turned my stomach upside down, playing the past that separates Angelica and Lahen.
"Can I skip this?"
Alice sighed and said nothing of it, since this isn't the first time I said it for the day.
I closed my eyes, turning off all senses but the glistening of the golden chamber and menace from the past pushed forward, showing the image of the Damned King on his dais.
His threat forced me to succumb and lost the lives of my people and…
And… Ecstasy Palace.
I snapped open my eyes and rushed into the bathroom, clearing out the juices from my stomach and drowning my face in the ice cold water.
