Chương 215: Death Walking

The light in Lucine's eyes was so purely vicious, Elia's spine tingled.

This was it, she realized. If Reth didn't have his eyes on her, right at that moment, this was the moment she was going to die.

This woman had wanted to kill her literally since the moment of her arrival in this world. Elia had watched her murder several women without pausing for thought.

She'd challenged Elia to a fight to the death just hours earlier.

And now she stood here, smiling a wicked smile, while Elia was tied and helpless.

Lucine must have seen—or smelled—Elia understand that her time was short, because her smile widened and her eyes narrowed.

Elia's stomach flipped over. She couldn't breathe.

She was going to die.
