Chapter 98: A Bad Omen
Mineah was minding her own business when a sudden chill ran down her spine. She wasn’t sure where that came from, but for some reason, she felt like something bad was about to happen.
"A bad omen?" she wondered to herself. "I didn’t think some of those sayings were true though..."
Her eyes narrowed, seemingly feeling as if there was more to things that met the eye. However, after a few minutes of nothing happening, she shrugged to herself before going ahead and continuing about with her business.
If this was nothing, then perhaps what she just felt was nothing but a coincidence? While she practiced magic and was literally a cursed individual, most premonitions like that were actually-
"AHH!"
Her eyes widened as she immediately stood on alert. That sounded like one of the many servants stationed in her palace. What happened?
She shook her head as she stood up. She didn’t think that omens such as this came with a shiver down one’s back, but if this was one of them, then she’d just have to take them more seriously in the future.
Mineah was alarmed as she made her way to the source of the scream. Rounding the nearest corner, she was faced with a sight that made her sick to her core.
Lying dead on the floor was a servant, clutching a pulsating black rock in her lifeless hand. The malevolent aura emanating from it sent shivers down Mineah’s spine. It was vile, and it took her everything to not kick it away from the dead woman’s hand as she approached her.
