Chapter 195
In the Sun Duke’s office, Vivian lounged on the sofa with the ease of someone strolling through their own bedroom. She casually bit into a ripe apple, the crisp sound echoing in the silence.
The Sun Duke watched her intently, his gaze unwavering even as her pale thigh peeked out from her dress. The room was silent until he finally spoke, his voice heavy with displeasure, “Why have you come to my domain?”
Vivian didn’t look at him, her attention seemingly on another fruit, “Hmm... just because?”
“Just because?” The Duke scoffed, a hollow laugh escaping him before the room suddenly grew hot, the temperature rising rapidly.
Amidst the growing heat, Vivian simply smiled, unaffected. “Testing my patience, are we, Vivian?”
The Duke’s fiery aura swelled into flames that filled the room, yet they dared not touch the sofa where Vivian reclined—a testament to her power. Her specialty was curses, often deemed inferior to magic but now, with her rise, they were considered equal, if not superior.
Noticing a talisman between her fingers, the Duke frowned, “A charm?”
If magic had its circles, curses had their charms. Vivian’s charm craft was so peculiar it could deceive the very laws of the world. The flames that couldn’t reach her were likely repelled by a similar trick.
She looked back at him, a playful taunt in her gaze, “Why so heated?”
“And if I caused such chaos in your realm, would you still be smiling?” he challenged.
“Of course,” she grinned, causing a crease to form on the Duke’s brow.
