No! No! NO!

Yenefer walked out of the shower clad in her white garment.

She strolled to step in behind the curtains and dress up, but a sudden noise coming from nowhere resounded, causing her and her maids to look around the room in confusion.

"What's that noise?" Masha asked, and Livia, who had no idea, glanced at Yennefer in bewilderment.

"Um… Livia, Masha, I think you both should get out now," She said to them, having begun to feel deep magic from the wall.

She glanced at the shifted sword rack, and suddenly hit by realization, she grabbed Masha and Livia and quickly hurried them out of the chamber.

"Please go to your rooms and do not come out!" She warned, instantly sensing great danger, but Livia and Masha, who couldn't understand what was going on, looked at her in deep puzzlement.

"My lady-" 

A loud bang resounded through the walls, causing everyone's hearts to fall to their stomachs.

"Wha-what's going on?"

They asked, and Yennefer turned her head to look at them.

"I said get out!" She yelled at them, but before they could make a move to leave, the entire wall burst apart, sending both her, Masha, and Livia out of the room and crashing them onto the hallway wall.

The two instantly went unconscious, and Yennefer, who was feeling very dizzy, groaned in pain.

"Ouch." She pressed her hands on the floor and helped herself stand up.

She glanced around only to realize that whatever it was that had come out of that wall was no longer in the area.

"Are you okay?"

She quickly turned her head around when she heard none other than Damian's voice.

"Oh my words, your head is bleeding!" He exclaimed, immediately spotting the drops of blood dripping down her neck.

Yennefer shook her head at him and walked over to Masha and Livia.

"Can you please help me get them to their room?" She inquired, and Damian glanced at the two maids.

His eyes fluttered rapidly, and a slow, awkward smile emerged on his face.

"I will just teleport them to their room." He said, and before Yennefer could respond, he grabbed onto their hands and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Yennefer's lashes flickered, and she quickly turned her head when she heard screams coming from the royal hall.

"Oh shit!" She hastily grabbed her sword from her messy chamber and scurried downstairs.

She ran towards the royal hall, and the instant she stepped inside, her whole body halted in shock as her gaze fell on a pool of blood.

Her eyes glanced at the pile of dead bodies and stopped on a particular set of bodies, which consisted of William's dead body, Daphne's dead body, and Yuri's dead body.

A deep gasp exited her mouth, and she quickly rushed towards Yuri and pulled him into her arms.

"Yuri! Yuri!"  She called in a trembling voice and looked around, only to realize that while everyone within the hall was dead, only Luthiel and the Emperor's dead bodies were missing.

A deep frown settled in between her brows, and before she could stand up on her feet to look for them, a huge, deep gasp exited her mouth and her eyes sprang open.

"My lady, are you okay?" Masha and Livia, who were dressing her up in her inner white dress inside the bathroom, asked, but she stood unmoving, just breathing heavily.

"My lady…" Livia, who was now worried, called and looked at her face only to see that she had nothing but terror in her eyes.

"Are-are you okay, my lady?" She waved her hands in front of her face, but seeing that that wouldn't work, she vigorously shook her, resulting in Yennefer snapping back to her senses.

She looked around her and rushed out of the washroom before Livia could utter a word.

Her eyes furiously looked around the room and stopped at the sword rack upon realizing that what she had experienced minutes earlier within the washroom was her visions.

"No! No! No!" She exclaimed and turned towards Masha and Livia.

"Leave now!" She yelled at them, having begun to feel the dark energy rushing through the walls.

"My Lady is everything-"

"GET OUT!" She shouted at them before they could ask any questions, and seeing the anguish in her eyes, Masha and Livia obediently scampered toward their room, unsure of what was going on.

Yennefer turned to the wall, and the instant she began to hear the same sounds from her vision, she recklessly turned around and grabbed her sword.

She dashed out of the room and hurried towards the royal hall to inform Luthiel of what was going on.

She arrived there in less than three minutes, and the moment she stepped inside, all eyes fell on her, specifically halting on the white inner garment she wore.

A puzzled expression emerged on Luthiel's face, unsure why she would run into the royal hall half-dressed.

His eyes narrowed into a thin line, and a slight frown settled in between his brows as he saw her begin to hasten towards him.

She dashed up the royal stairs, causing everyone to gasp in disbelief, and hurried up to Luthiel.

"You need to come with me!" She told him, but Luthiel, who had no idea of her reasons, glared at her with a stern expression on his face.

"Luthiel!" She yelled his name, and seeing that he wouldn't follow her unless she gave him a valid reason, she forcefully grabbed him by the wrist and proceeded to pull him along with her; however, at that moment, the door to the hall burst open, rushing towards them at the throne.

Luthiel's eyes narrowed vehemently, and, ready to protect William at any time, he moved forward and booted the door away, sending it crashing onto the wall.

The hearts of the guests dropped to their stomachs, and they slowly turned their heads towards the entrance to see none other than Ayana, whose eyes were completely red in color, standing with an evil smile on her face.

"Hello, Gavarians!"
