People sneered and insulted me from a distance; only those with more power were more courageous than to instigate anything more. Any acts against me were small and always looked like an accident.

Slowly, the heat flickering in my blood and veins extinguished, cooling to the distance between Eryx and me. Although there was a slight throbbing sensation on the back of my neck. I refrained from touching it. It was the Prince's favourite spot.
