Kapitel 229: Her Obsession

Merina's heart pounded in her chest, reverberating against her ribcage like a drum echoing through the silent chamber. 

Her dark blue eyes widened with a mixture of fear and disbelief, boring into Sabina's amused gaze.

The eerie, playful smile that danced across Sabina's face only amplified the sense of danger, chilling Merina's blood.

She grimaced as she strained against the magical restraints, but the panic soon ebbed, replaced by a calm resolve. She might be in a dire situation, but this wouldn't be the first time she found herself in one. There was no point in panicking in a situation like this. She definitely had to think.

And so her eyes met Sabina's, holding her gaze steady despite the perilous situation.
