Chapter 236: Sealed Her Fate

Earlier in the evening, when dinner had ended, Kaden kissed Lina on the head, and went straight to his private office. Lina didn't know what for, but she was determined to carry her plan through.

The marble floor was cracked. In the far corners of the land that Lina governed, everything was burning down. The abundant meadow of flowers was filled with dead and crisp plants. The burnt petals were carried away by the harsh wind.
