"Elestria cared for you like an older sister. She brought you into our world. And this is how you repay her? How dare you stand here and claim to be her dearest friend? Zyrelle, have you no shame?" Vespera trembled from head to toe, her heart burning with anger.
Zyrelle tilted her head in mock innocence. "Elestria’s time has passed. If she could not hold on to the man she loved, then she simply was not enough—"
"Zyrelle!" Kyran stepped into the hall. His voice cut through the air, sharp and cold, stopping her words.

Vespera watched this, and it felt as though she could barely breathe.
