Chương 139: Fear Me!

After expressing her concerns, Clementine observed the visible change in Diana's demeanor. Her daughter appeared to have calmed down, but there was an underlying unease. "Good, let's go," she said, gently grasping Diana's hand. However, instead of resisting, Diana remained passive, causing Clementine to furrow her brows. Sensing something amiss, she turned around, lowering her head to meet her daughter's gaze. What she saw there was a mixture of shock and fear, freezing Diana in place.

"Mom... is that true..." Diana's trembling voice barely escaped her lips, her hands clutching her face in disbelief. She seemed petrified, as if the ground beneath her had crumbled.

"Pff." Unable to bear witness to her daughter's distress, Diana's father, with a laugh that lacked sincerity, attempted to brush it off as an old joke. "Hahaha, it was just a silly prank, my princess." He reached out to caress her hair, but Diana forcefully pushed his hand away.
