Chapter 316: The Creator’s Wrath
Tayo’s words struck Lily with the force of a physical blow. Her eyes widened.
Her calm facade cracked to reveal pure shock. A beat of silence hung in the cool garden air. Then she spoke again her voice low and seething with a rage that made the air feel cold.
"Where is Sona?"
Tayo could feel the fury radiating from her creator. She flinched. She kept her head bowed low.
"My Lord" she stammered her voice trembling.
"They... they were using Sona... to find out about you. I... I killed her with my own hands to protect your identity Lily-Sama."
The moment the words left Tayo’s mouth Lily’s shock morphed into unrestrained fury.
She did not respond with words. She acted. In a single fluid motion she leaped from the open doorway of her room.
She cleared the distance to the garden floor in a silent predatory arc.
Seeing the movement Tayo reacted instinctively. She tried to push off the ground.
She wanted to fly backward and gain distance. But Lily was impossibly fast.
Before Tayo’s wings could even fully extend Lily was there. She was a blur of motion that resolved into a solid form directly in front of her.
