Chapter 96: Orchestra Of Cruelty
Three spears stood sentinel before the mansion gates. The heads of three humans were displayed. It belonged to his wife, his daughter, and someone unrecognizable…
Damian's wife was instantly recognizable despite the grotesque transformation. Her vibrant brown hair, normally meticulously braided, hung in matted strands. Her beautiful face, once a source of endless fascination, was now a mask of horror. Her eyes, eternally wide, were glazed over, a single tear petrified on her cheek. The spear had pierced her throat from below, the tip protruding from the crown of her head.
Next to her, a smaller head, his daughter Elara's, shared the same horrifying fate. Her golden curls, once a source of amusement for Damian, now lay lifeless around her pale face. Her eyes, permanently shut, seemed to hold an accusation Damian couldn't bear to meet.
