Chapter 139 --139
Hearing that, Rony paused. He looked at Elara with amusement and then said, "Oh, really? Then tell me, sister—why do you think we want to kill you today? If you have the answer to all these things, then I think you have the answer to that too."
Elara paused. Looked at them calmly. Then said, "Well, I heard that today is a full moon day. And not just any full moon day—it’s a golden full moon day, if I’m not wrong."
Both Rony and the Emperor looked at her with genuine impression.
"Oh, is that so?" Rony said, his tone mocking but curious.
Elara’s voice stayed flat. "Rony, isn’t it true that on this night, every mage’s magical powers weaken? Right now, I’m like a lamb ready for slaughter. And if I’m not wrong, after Eleana is eliminated and the First Consort is down, I’m the only one left in your way. So of course, you wouldn’t let me stay alive."
Rony looked at her and smiled—cold, appreciative. "Smart. So choose the way you want to die, sister. I’m actually quite impressed. Living with you wasn’t that bad."
He examined his nails casually, playing with them. "Except for that damn broken house you lived in. Those terrible beds. Everything was so uncomfortable. Do you know how much I had to endure? If not for Father sending me money secretly, do you think you would have even gotten those palace funds you thought were yours?"
Elara looked at him. "Oh yeah, I know."
Silence.
Rony’s face lost its smile completely. He stared at her. "What?"
"I said I know."
"Even after knowing that, you still let me stay? Why?"
