Chapter 716: Humiliation

Kael turned around, haedening his heart. It didn't matter. It was only a matter of tonight. Dora was strong and could endure this. Let Kit win this time and feel satisfied. Tomorrow, he would convince Dora to be his again. 

Even as Kael assured himself that Dora was his and they would be over this tomorrow, something inside him clenched. His eyes met Dora's, even across the distance of a room, he could see that she knew his intentions now. His eyes hardened at the vulnerability there. He could not show her regret. No. He raised his chin and gave her a look, as if blaming her for her own foolishness.

The whispers around the room seemed to get louder by the second as everyone waited with bated breath. Was she really confessing to Prince Kael Ignis? Suddenly, the whispers grew louder, a buzz of excitement and malice rippling through the crowd as they sensed blood in the water.
