Chapter 11: Conclusion
The last person Hades ever expected to turn against him... was her.
Not just his fiancée. Not just the girl he had trusted with his heart and future.
She was his best friend. His constant. The one person who knew him better than anyone.
But there she stood, in front of everyone.
Clear-eyed. Steady. And saying something that shattered him from the inside.
"While Hades was still recovering, I visited his room. I saw a parchment tossed in the corner. When I opened it... it was a warning letter."
She didn’t look at him once.
Ross smiled that same smug, cold smile. "A wise move, student. Well done." He nodded, sending her back into the crowd like she hadn’t just stabbed a blade into someone’s soul.
And still, Hades didn’t take his eyes off her—not for a second.
She walked away with her back turned, never glancing back. Not once.
Was she lying?
