Chapter 136: The anfos ring

"Dead?" the prince of the Blazing City asked with a frown.

"Yes, my lord," the butler replied as a smile crept onto the prince's face.

"But the princess is dead, right?" the prince asked again, his smile slowly fading as silence reigned.

"Those idiots," the prince said angrily, standing abruptly and smashing the wine glass in his hand.

Drip...

A small drop of blood fell to the ground as the shattered glass pieces scattered.

"My lord, your hand is bleeding," the butler said, bowing respectfully but with gritted teeth. "Those peasant assassins... How could they fail such an important task? Even if they died, they should have at least killed the princess," he thought angrily.

"Heal," the prince commanded, and the small cut on his finger disappeared instantly.

"It's quite interesting. I'm curious... How did the plan fail?" the prince asked.
