Chapter 1016: Chapter 1015: Bared Fangs (1)*

Leone PoV

Dinner was an... interesting affair, one that I loosely remembered as I sat on the side and listened to every other word that came out of anyone's mouth, my brain throbbing in an unpleasant, attention deriving way that made it hard to participate in this dinner at all.

I did see that Anput was rather irritated at the Sultana for stealing her tray of curry, and I did notice that the officials of Khisba were all rather... scared of the Sultana and surprised at the interactions between the Mom daughter duo.

And yet, where I would have normally felt a bit off at the way the Sultana seemed so fine with the fear they felt and the stuffy atmosphere, I couldn't even bring myself to be bothered with how tired I was, though as I cut Anput's wrist open and watched those droplets of delectable crimson pour down into my glass, I felt my headache already begin to recede.
