Chapter 102: The Party Is Over

"She’s my savior, nothing else."

Islinda forgot how to breathe when Valerie said those words. It was almost as if he had ripped open her chest and rent her heart into pieces. He had denied her right in front of his family. Right in front of everyone.

Was the time they spent together a lie? Was she the one deluded all this while? He was ashamed of her. Islinda remembered Valerie telling her that a fae and human relationship were not encouraged, but denying her in front of everyone? It was too much.

He ruined her.

He ruined her heart.

What was the use of being here? The thought of seeing Valerie had strengthened her so she endured Aldric’s games. Islinda had actually believed that Valerie would be able to save her. After all, he was the reason she was going through this. His psychopathic brother was after her because he assumed he - Valerie - was head over heels in love with her.

But that does not seem to be the case anymore. She was disposable, Valerie just proved that. He couldn’t fight for their love. He had cowered like a coward and left her alone. Valerie abandoned her. He abandoned her to Aldric. And that alone was a fate worse than death.

Islinda suddenly did not want to be here. She wanted to stay as far away as possible from Valerie. From Aldric. From everyone. From the Fae realm. She did not ask for any of this. It was too much. It was overwhelming and she felt sick to the stomach. Islinda wanted to lick her wounds in secret. Her pride couldn’t allow her to break down in front of everyone. They cannot see her in her weakest moment.

However, Islinda couldn’t move when she wanted because Aldric, the demon, had made her the center of attention once again. ƒrēewebnoѵёl.cσm

"Apologies, your majesty," He said, "my brother has a problem with wordings so allow me to restate his words accurately."

He added immediately, "The human was merely the first to get to him while I watched over the both of them else how would my brother have fended off the humans in his then injured state? Moreover, I had to test the human’s motives and it was clean. In one word, I’m the reason your honorable crown prince was not captured by the hunters." Aldric bowed dramatically, "I rest my case. "

All eyes were on her again and unlike earlier when they had given her judgemental looks, there was a hint of surprise and awe now. Of course, Islinda shied away from the attention. She has been ripped open and wanted to be left alone.

"That is a lie!" Valerie accused him only for his devilish brother to huff,

"Really, brother? Or have you forgotten that our kind is incapable of lying? "

Valerie spat out, his eyes flashing, "And yet that makes you a master of manipulating your words, purposely omitting words that would have you castigated."

"If that was the case, aren’t we both the same brother?" Adric smirked, an implied meaning in his words that had Valerie turning his face the other way.
