Bab 588: The Darkness Lurking In Her Mind

Music Recommendation: I'll be there —Jess Glynne

The king's guards arrived shortly after, and Issac couldn't help but feel relieved. Anya's overconfidence in her ability to overpower and torment Maxi had inadvertently led to her downfall, and had failed to divulge that his mate was a dark Fae. It transpired that Anya had a connection within the Fae guard and had enticed him with the promise of a significant revelation. Consequently, the guard arrived accompanied by only a handful of his comrades, intrigued by the unfolding events, only to stumble upon Anya's death instead. 

Backup had been summoned, and now soldiers swarmed the arena, launching into their investigations. It was a grim reminder that murdering a fellow Fae was a grave offense, though apparently, only the royal family held such privileges, Issac mused sarcastically. If only Anya hadn't dragged the King's army into this mess in the first place, her death might have gone unnoticed.
