Chapter 147: Taken!
He didn’t care if his body deteriorated from the excessive use of forbidden magic, he wasn’t willing to wait around this time. He was going to get her no matter what. She promised him... He will hold her accountable...
Controlling the Captain, the Head Priest, what a waste. He should dream bigger, he intended to control the Emperor, turning him into a puppet to do his bidding.
He sat down to write a letter, but before his quill could touch the paper, he abandoned that idea. For some twisted reason, he didn’t want to respond right away.
They say imagination is far scarier than reality. He wanted her to stew in her thoughts and make sure her will to oppose would diminish on its own. It would save him some time.
On a normal person the thought of so many suffering because of them would be enough to torment them, to feed all the deepest, darkest thoughts in their mind. If that happened and she was left vulnerable, taking advantage of the situation would be so easy for him.
He was already tired from the deterioration, at least this way he can simply reap the rewards. He did think of controlling Adeline, but someone with the Sun Goddess’ blessing, so much holy power surely had a stronger resolve.
Their soldiers had been preparing for war. Their numbers might be low... But with their healing powers, their army would have infinite vigour.
The next day Adeline received a letter, she thought it was from Edward... But she was disappointed to find out that it wasn’t. She just wanted to solve this problem as soon as possible.
From the seal, it was clear that the letter was from the palace... She could feel the panic overcome her as she thought about the Empress inviting her. Nope! She won’t be doing that again!
