Chapter 665: Punishment (1)
Recently, Duchess Arachne Milaris’ life had whittled to a steady stream of boredom and indolence. The only thing that helped her pass the time now was the preparations she was handling for Sol and Medea’s wedding.
Nothing else interested her at the moment.
In the past, Lustburg was in dire straits. They only had one true King rank in Camelia. Meanwhile, Lilith was constantly weakening and unable to use her full power and the witches were more akin to potential enemies than allies.
As if that wasn’t bad enough already, they were targeted by the Wings of Freedom, Wratharis, as well as minor traitors added into the mix.
Those times were very stressful and Milaris, alongside her friends, was forced to work hard, scheme, hide, and prepare for all potential dangers while they watched Sol grow.
Now, the young man she had once protected from the shadows was about to become the rightful King of Lustburg and even marry. He was now a bonafide man. Once that came to pass, the name of Mars Luxuria would forever fade into obscurity as a new, powerful, and worthy king would take on his mantle and replace him.
Milaris knew that if someone asked her whether she was happy or not, she would not be able to give them a good answer.
The only thing she could say was that it was complicated. Very much so.
She was happy to see the son of her departed beloved grow to such heights and yet she also felt a small amount of bitterness.
