Upon hearing that the notorious Goddess of Lust had been hired to extinguish her life, Laura's reaction was rather unexpected. Instead of exhibiting shock or fear, she seemed vaguely amused, a faint smile tugging at the corners of her lips.
Observing her composure, Aditya felt a wave of incredulity wash over him. He found her nonchalance in the face of such peril perplexing. "Are you not surprised?" He finally voiced his bewilderment, studying her countenance for any signs of distress.
Laura's smile merely deepened as she shook her head. "No, I'm not surprised. It's inevitable, really. As a contender for the throne, I knew assassination attempts would be part of the equation. I have a multitude of enemies, after all," she explained with a hint of resignation in her voice.
