Chapter 13: A compelling defense.
"You are protective and don’t want to see your prince dead."
As those words left Erica’s mouth, Zani’s eyes immediately mirrored a faint blue glow, and she took several steps back.
Erica watched with a satisfied look as Zani clenched her head, the compulsion taking full control of her.
Unlike Martins, whose star of control was linked to directly altering laws after his command, Erica’s power focused on manipulating the mental state of others.
While she couldn’t order you to sit, stand, or serve, she could still compel you into whatever state she desired.
And for Zani, she wanted her protection.
With that done, she turned to look at her brother.
"Do you still think you can handle it?"
Sylus grunted angrily.
’Damn you, Erica. What are you trying to prove?’
While Sylus knew Erica couldn’t maintain the compulsion for long, he didn’t want to wait around to find out what she could do in the meantime.
