“Hmm. It’s extra damaged than I assumed. That barbarian sorcerer is fairly good. However it doesn’t appear to be he’s been in a position to go deep.”

Cerdina frowned, irritated.

“Truly, it was onerous after I forged the primary spell 4 years in the past, too. You tried to get out of the brainwashing as quickly because the slightest alternative appeared.” She waited, watching till Leah had suffered sufficient to interrupt her will, then requested generously, “Does it damage, Leah?”

Leah nodded frantically. She apologized with out hesitation for her conduct. She would have kissed Cerdina’s ft to cease the ache.

Cerdina burst out laughing and snapped her fingers, and the hellish ache disappeared immediately. Leah sat on the ground, panting. Sitting throughout from her, Cerdina gently stroked her silver hair. When Leah tried to show her head away, it felt as if her coronary heart collapsed. Her physique didn’t transfer, however she felt like a stranger in her personal physique. Even inhaling and exhaling felt unusual, as if her spirit was in another person’s physique. Chilly sweat ran down her again and Cerdina smiled as concern flashed in Leah’s eyes.

“You don’t must be so afraid.” Slowly, she scratched underneath Leah’s chin with a fingernail, drawing a pink line within the white pores and skin. Leah had no selection however to endure the ache. Taking a look at her quivering purple eyes, Cerdina smiled graciously.

“Have you ever ever strangled somebody you’re keen on?”

Leah’s palms moved by themselves and closed round her personal neck, strangling her. Cerdina’s eyes curved as she watched her flip pink from lack of air. As quickly as her consciousness light, her palms launched, and Leah gasped in a breath. She felt as if her coronary heart had been about to blow up, and he or she didn’t get a lot time to compose herself.

“Have you ever ever caught a knife in a coronary heart?”

Leah couldn’t transfer her lips. Cerdina contemplated after which mentioned, “ahh…”

She touched Leah’s lips with a finger, and solely then may Leah communicate.

“Oh, no…”

“You don’t wish to, do you? You hate ache.”

“Sure… I hate it…”

“Then don’t take into consideration something pointless.” Cerdina caressed Leah’s pale cheek lovingly. “Don’t say something to Blain. I don’t assume he’ll such as you being on this state. After all, you’d higher not inform anybody else both.” She smiled coldly. “We’ll preserve it a secret between mom and daughter.”

Leah nodded slowly, her eyes clean. Tears slid down on her cheek, caught on her chin, and dropped on the ground. Cerdina smirked.

“Beginning at the moment, management your consuming. The marriage is close to, however you’ve gained lots of weight.”

She stood gracefully and checked out Leah, who sat despondently on the ground.

“Then I’m leaving,” she mentioned quietly. “It’s been good speaking to you, Leah.”

The doorknob, which hadn’t budged regardless of Leah’s determined makes an attempt, turned simply. Cerdina opened the door and left.

“……”

Alone, Leah lowered her head. Her silver hair fell like a waterfall and a hole snigger escaped her. It was ridiculous. She had been certain she hadn’t been bewitched, simply because she didn’t appear to be the King. However now she knew she was in a horrible state. One other puppet.

Cerdina’s warning was clear. The Queen may management her physique, which meant if Leah did something silly, she would make her endure.

Leah imagined herself strangling Ishakan. Plunging a knife into his coronary heart. Her thoughts had solely simply cleared, and now it darkened once more. The darkness swept over her from head to toe.

For a very long time, she stayed the place she was. Slowly, she raised her head, wanting round in a daze. The reminiscence of her euphoric evening on this room with Ishakan appeared distant. Her ankles have been nonetheless certain with chains. The liberty she had dreamed of had by no means existed.

“Ishakan…” Leah mentioned desperately.

Tears effectively up once more. She would by no means set foot on these desert sands in her life. She would by no means be with him.
