Chapter 239: Sahli's Tale

Sahli's eyes glowed even brighter as she spoke in her breathy voice. 

"I see. I knew you would come one of these days who could stay away from a beautiful woman for long." 

Sahli's cunning eyes flickered to Cassandra. The lost goddess of love was on her doorstep today.

"And you are the cursed goddess of love. Your father knows how to hold a grudge. I don't approve of his ways but I needed a favour from him, the only reason I placed such an oath on your mate," Sahli revealed to Cassandra. Siroos tightened his hold around his queen's waist, keeping her steady against his beating heart. He could sense her agitation and anger. 

"My mate and I have suffered for centuries just because we chose to fall in love and because the gods like you and my father didn't approve," Cassandra seethed out. Her companions nodded their approval. 

Sahli dazzled a smile; her Erinyeses giggled behind her, and their eyes wouldn't waver from Siroos.
