As time passed, the black smoke started thinning out, as though it had run out of steam.
Delouse’s scorpion tail protruded slightly, its tip aiming right at Avic, in front of her.
"Delouse, you have followed me for about 10 years, no?" Avic suddenly spoke, his voice was deep, with a hint of regret and pain.
Delouse lifted her head, and coincidentally the final trails of smoke went back into her head.
Suddenly, she was faintly aware that there was nobody around her, not even the three ministers who were standing behind her, they just vanished without her knowing.
The original guards have disappeared too, the entire Blood Jade palace was left with only her and Avic.
"Your Majesty, you….!"
Avic raised his royal staff and looked at Delouse. " I never wanted to do this…" his eyes were mixed with clashing emotions, labyrinthine thoughts, bitter betrayal, so much such that it was impossible to etch all of them on his face.
