Chapter 71: Chapter 71 | Thalia

"My rogues, take Xianne to Canidae Kingdom. Put her next to Thalia's cell. I'll be heading to Stormreach first. Your brothers are waiting for you." Levina turned toward the swirling black portal, her dark robes billowing like shadows clinging to her form. Just as she stepped into the mist, she hesitated, glancing back with her pale, icy eyes. "Don't give her any water or food. I need her weak and worn out."

With that, she vanished into the dark void, leaving behind a cold emptiness that seemed to seep into my bones.

The rogues moved in a silent, orderly line, their war scythes and serrated weapons glinting faintly under the gray morning light. They moved like shadows with purpose, each step calculated and relentless. The chains on my wrists rattled as they shoved me forward, and I stumbled but kept walking, biting back the anger that threatened to rise.
