Chapter 295: A bunch of complicated threads of truth
"I can’t believe you guys!" Cleopatra shouted, and Hera shook in her place, making Artemis immediately hold her hand.
Currently, all three of them, Hera, Artemis, and Marianna were standing in front of Cleopatra, their coral clan leader.
Someone snitched on them that they were roaming the vampire Kingdom’s grounds. Artemis had hinted to Cleopatra that they would be going to the coasts of the nation to gather some information regarding the mission, and she had agreed dejectedly, but this? They clearly crossed their limits.
"Give us a chance to explain -" Hera started.
"You shut your damn mouth!" Cleopatra raised her voice, making Hera’s ears ring with a painful piercing, and she fell to her knees, making Artemis immediately hug her.
"Cleopatra! You are hurting her!" Artemis shouted, and the latter only smiled coldly.
"Oh? So she is hurting? Why can’t I see it?" Cleopatra raised the ringing in her tone, which was focussed on Hera’s mind only and tears welled up in Hera’s eyes.
"Why her? Why should she be the only one to get the punishment? We all went there!" Marianna raised her voice.
Artemis looked at the girl and pressed his lips, helplessly. Marianna was like this. Though she acts cold and unbothered, she has always been protective of them and everyone she feels close to herself.
"Don’t worry, Marianna, I’ll come to you too," Cleopatra turned around and sat on her seat before she removed her ringing from Hera’s mind space.
Her eyes turned soft when Hera fell limp in Artemis’s arms.
