章節 611: Enemy?

"She's screaming in pain!" he hissed at his sister-in-law, the whites of his eyes a little bloodshot.

"I know! But do not worry, her life is not in danger."

"Just trust me, Prince Gideon. I have yet to be wrong." Evie's voice was sharp and absolute. "And Vera isn't screaming for help right now." Evie was quick to point this fact out, helping Gideon to observe and nod in agreement.

The ground beneath their feet shook and when Gideon returned his gaze to Vera's hand, he suddenly saw blood. Her blood. And it appeared as though the ice had drawn it from her palm.

Panic seized him. The blood travelled like red lightning inside the ice and spread wide, following the little cracks that ran through the whole block. It looked as though there was a network of red roots running through that ice wall.
