The True Heiress: Legend Mode novel Chapter 319

Juno stands tall, her face encased in frost. "Since you claim Morgan voluntarily went to the National Court for a 'cup of coffee,' and it seems your hospitality was lacking, I insist you try the Obsidian Court's brew. Since you're all here."

Hearing the cue, Lucia signals the men waiting outside.

They enter the room, each carrying a pristine white porcelain teacup. They walk over and place a cup directly in front of every Council head.

The fragrant steam of freshly brewed tea wafts through the room.

But who would dare drink it?

No one moves an inch.

Juno crosses her arms, watching them with a chilling, predatory amusement. "Too scared to drink? You had the guts to cross me, but you don't have the guts to finish a cup of tea?"

Silence.

Juno's patience evaporates. She issues a single, absolute command: "Pour."

In perfect synchronization, the operatives standing behind the Council members grab their jaws, forcing their mouths open, and tip the boiling liquid directly down their throats.

They are professionals; not a single drop is spilled.

The scalding heat tears through the officials' throats, an agonizing, blistering torment they cannot escape.

The operatives step back.

The Council members collapse, gagging, frantically clawing at their own throats to vomit.

Nothing comes up.

Her work finished, Juno turns to leave. She glances at Chuck, who is sitting comfortably. "Planning on moving in?"

Chuck looks at her. She looks at him.

He blinks innocently. Satisfied that her rage has somewhat subsided, he gets up and walks beside her.

He pulls out a carefully wrapped pink scarf and ties it around her neck, fashioning it into an elegant knot.

He's been practicing.

The soft pink color contrasts beautifully against her pale skin, bringing a touch of lively warmth to her icy demeanor.

Chuck's eyes curve into a soft smile as he takes her hand. "Let's go."

Behind them, the operatives casually drop the empty cups onto the floor. The shattering sounds echo like gunshots.
