บท 315: Past She Had Forgotten

"I will, your majesty. I will try my best." The way his eyes stirred proved that he was expecting her to refuse. But the dark pleasure that ran through his blood when she accepted the offer felt stranger.

"Evangeline." his eyes flickered to Damien, the only man that had more emotions than a woman. He was looking at his wife with lost eyes. So devoted, just like the marquis. Would he turn like him if Evangeline died? The thought made his hands itch to try it.

"I can do it. How difficult it can be." she smiled at him to assure him. If only she knew, Carmen laughed with malice in his voice.
