Chapter 144: Punishment
"Milord..." the twin guards greeted Xavier respectfully.
He only nods slightly at them and gestures to them to open the door.
The door creaked open, and the room lay in pitch blackness, only illuminated by the light from the corridor. The yellow light hanging from the ceiling flickered to life as they entered.
Xavier’s gaze landed on the small figure curled up motionless on the floor.
"Awake her!" Xavier ordered.
One of the guards appears beside Selina, grasping her hair and lifting her body to face Xavier.
"Wake up!" The guard hissed near Selina’s ears. Gradually, her lifeless eyes opened, and a look of horror suddenly filled them when she saw Xavier standing a few meters away.
Observing Selina awaken, the guard released his grip, causing Selina to fall back to the floor. This time, however, she promptly knelt on the floor, facing Xavier, her head hung low, unable to meet his gaze.
"M-Milord..." Selina’s voice was barely audible and shaky. She was too afraid to say anything, realizing her actions might be unforgivable. "P-please, please... give me your mercy, Milord. I didn’t know the Lady—"
Selina didn’t have the chance to finish her sentence as she felt an invisible force lifting her body from the floor. She glanced at Xavier and saw him pointing his index finger at her.
Pressing her lips together, she refrained from making any sound, accepting her punishment.
