Chapter 354 – Wine (2)

Translator: Atlas / Editor: Regan

Leah decided to pretend to drink the wine.

But the moment she lifted it to her mouth, the glass flew out of her hand and struck the marble floor with a loud crack, and Lesha was standing on the table.

It all happened so fast, it was impossible to follow with her eyes. But Leah could see the knife in Leshas small hand, pointing at Herods neck.

“You leave my mama alone,” he snarled, his eyes narrowed. “Or youll be sorry.”

Judias ladies-in-waiting took great care in dressing her.

Her dress was simple, but fit her well, highlighting the shape of her body. They also spent a lot of time styling her hair, and when they were done, all of her ladies were amazed at the result.

“My God…”

“Magnificent. Even a heart made of stone would race.”

Judia pulled a robe on over her gown and left the palace, satisfied.

The King of Kurkan had planned to spend the night outside the palace instead of attending the banquet, and Judia had asked her subordinates to find his location. When she discovered he was going to spend the night at an inn, it seemed like a signal to proceed with a tryst.

Throughout the whole carriage ride to the inn, she was so excited, she couldnt stop smiling. He must be interested in her. Surely, he had only acted as if he were indifferent because there had been so many people watching in the banquet hall.

When the carriage arrived at the inn, Judia got out and instructed the coachman to wait there until early the next morning, then hurried inside the inn.

But as soon as she opened the door, Judia sensed something was wrong.

A prickling sensation raced over her skin, as if hundreds of needles were pricking her at the same time. It was a phantom pain from all the stares.

There were dozens of Kurkans in the inn. Sitting freely on the tables, chairs, even on the stairs and in the window sills, perched on the railing of the second floor.
