Ruining a Kingdom with a Smile (4)

The bleak night inside the imperial palace of the South Kingdom felt even more rigid with the presence of two powerful beings standing in front of a window. Both of their eyes were busy looking at something that they like. His deep blue eyes settled on her figure for a while observing her reactions. 

When she didn't respond the way he expected her, he chuckled. This woman is really as hard as steel. She really deserved to be called the Accursed One. 

"You seemed amused. Now that I have seen what you want me to see, what are you going to do next? Beg him to take off this ring?"

"What a grand idea. Let's try." With a smile, he dragged her by the hand to where Lucien and Raei are. 

As they went nearer, Yllana could smell the faint aroma of vanilla in the air. She covered her nose with her free hand. Something in that smell made her want to puke. It was too sweet for her and just a whiff made her nauseous.
