237 Lady Of The Night (61)

(Outskirts of Forest Elerifn- Hidden Location)

(Castle Blackmore- Throne Room)

"I must say Antonio… you really know how to treat a guest," a soft feminine voice purred. 

A gorgeous pale-skinned woman with long reddish hair smiled darkly as her hand squeezed the neck of a dying human.

She wore a green dress that had been adorned with jewels from around the world. Dazzling sapphires, vivid emeralds, bright rubies and large diamonds.

It was a display of opulence and decadence in equal measure.

Sitting across from her was a handsome man in his early forties with similarly pale skin and dirty blonde hair that fell over his crimson eyes.

He stared at the beautiful woman with barely concealed annoyance in his gaze. 

Princess Esme pretended not to notice the tense atmosphere as she extended her fingernails and dug into the flesh of the human in her iron-clad grip.
