"Lai… Please, wake up… Oh, please. I'm so sorry…"
Mineah was sobbing hard as she pressed on her husband's bleeding chest. He was unconscious in front of her, and she felt like she was going to go crazy just from the thought of losing him. She had stabbed the right person. She was sure of it. She saw the golden color of Vulcan's life essence and soul inside Nikolai's heart, and she made sure that she pierced it with the divine dagger. She didn't aim for Nikolai's heart, so why was he bleeding profusely like this?
"Oh, please… Lai… Don't do this to me," she pleaded. "Wake up and come back to me!"
"Your Majesty! Please wake up! You're having a nightmare!"
Mineah slowly opened her eyes the moment she felt someone shaking her shoulders. She didn't mind how dizzy she was getting when she jolted up from bed to quickly look for Nikolai. She was sweating all over, and she was panting for air as she tried to look for him.
"Lai?"
