The Public Execution (3)

Listening to Garnet's response, Selene's eyes became fiercer as she locked her gaze on him. 

"So, how were you able to know its effects if you don't know?" she asked, her teeth grinding against each other.

"I knew about its effect because we tested the artefacts on a guard, and the only way to get rid of the artefact was for them to become corpses," Garnet responded truthfully.

Selene immediately became stunned. 

No wonder he was so confident in attacking the royal family and gaining control of the Prismerian Kingdom with such an artefact because, as it turns out, the only way to get rid of the artefact was for the victim to die.

"And my husband?" Her voice turned icy.

Garnet lowered his head even more in fright and muttered, "It's the same."

Selene's mood suddenly shifted. She felt her chest rising with emotion before instantly calming herself down. 

"Where did you find it?" she asked.
