บท 67: Voice In His Head

Hades~

Hades!

I stilled, pausing mid-sentence. It was a single word, my name, sharp and desperate. It rang in my head like a bell.

"Your Majesty?"

I snapped out of it, my brows furrowing. I looked up at Governor Petrov. "Did you hear that?" I asked.

I looked around, everyone else wearing the same confused expression. Even Kael.

"Hear what, Your Majesty?" he asked.

Yet, the echo of the single voice continued to resonate in my head. I had heard it. I looked around at the men seated around the table, all of them apparently unaware of the disturbance.

I pinched my forehead, sighing deeply. I felt a rare migraine coming on. Something was tugging at my chest, as insistent and desperate as the voice.

Cerberus prowled uneasily in my subconscious, roused by the voice. I shook away the dread that settled in my bones.
