"You haven't forgotten our wedding plan, right?" Sebastian asked.
Isla closed her eyes when she felt his arms slither to embrace her, enveloping her in his warmth.

"You're saying you're bringing me along your path of genocide?" Isla's hoarse and cynical voice incited his soft and deep chuckle.
"My Empress, aren't you glad that your husband's deed would follow your name wherever you go from now on?"
She opened her eyes as she saw him smiling at her like a devil. "I'm not sure that I'll be able to handle the fame."
