"Fuck, fuck, fucking dammit!" Queen Sybil cussed, dragging Ember by the hair up a winding spiral of steps with haste.
Thanks to her connection with the holy tree, she immediately knew the moment Queen Henrietta broke free from her captivity. She could sense all movements within the vicinity of the holy tree; it was also how she detected Marquis Ember.
Nevertheless, as Queen Sybil rushed up the spiral stairs, leaving behind a trail of blood belonging to Ember, the wall to her right side suddenly blew open. The shockwave immediately slammed her against the center pillar to her left.
"Where do you think you're going, Sybil?! I said I would kill you, and I am not one to go back on my word!" Henrietta roared with her cold gaze locked on Sybil's figure.
At the same time, Sybil glanced back and saw Henrietta floating outside the holy tree, draped in her insidious and terrifyingly destructive black flames. Her expression instantly turned terribly grim.
