Lauriel's grip on Alexei's neck became stronger and his voice sounded dangerous.
"I can kill you right now... Do you want to take this risk?"
Alexei coughed but he stubbornly closed his eyes.
"Not only that child ... but we will also target her mother... If my life were exchanged for the lives of those two people, I don't mind... hahah..." Alexei forced a laugh whilst coughing, which made him sound heartless. "Their deaths will destroy not only Caspar but also you ... Please, kill me if you want to take the risk."
A few seconds passed and Lauriel finally let go of his grip.
"Why are you doing this? They are innocent..." Lauriel said. His face looked very angry.
"All is fair in love and war..." said Alexei as he fixed his collar. He still coughed for a while before sitting down elegantly on the sofa. "Katia's love and my war..."
"Katia?" Lauriel frowned. "What does this have to do with Katia?"
Oh no ... It's Katia and Alexei!
Can you guess what they demanded from Lauriel?
PS:
Do you know Dimash Kudaibergen? He is the best voice in the world and I am currently listening to him. It really helps when my day is bad. He can sing notes soooooo high and sooooo low, breathtaking! And it doesn't hurt that he is so gorgeous.
I have never heard anyone like him my whole life and I feel truly feel blessed to share this lifetime with such magnificent artist. If you want to know what I mean, you can search "Dimash SOS" in Youtube (for starter).
