Chapter 336 No One Could Hurt Her

Helena felt Hiemaly’s gaze lock onto her, and her breath hitched.

She parted her lips, as if to say something.

But before she could speak, Hiemaly’s hand, hanging loosely by his side, suddenly flicked toward her.

A sharp whistle cut through the air, and Helena instinctively dodged to the side.

Even with her quick reflexes, a strand of her silver–white hair was severed, fluttering away in the air near her ear.

Almost simultaneously, an ice–blue serpentine dart, as thick as a finger, embedded itself into the wall behind Helena’s seat with a crisp thud.

Hiemaly’s sudden move caught everyone off guard. The crowd stared at the dart, half–buried in the wall, and felt a chill run down their spines.

They were certain that if the dart had been aimed at them, there would have been no chance to evade it.

The room fell silent as their gazes shifted from Helena to Hiemaly, disbelief written all over their faces.

‘Why would Lord Hiemaly suddenly attack Lady Helena? Shouldn’t he follow Lady Helena’s suggestion and deal with that insolent girl by his side? Is he really willing to turn against Lady Helena for her? No way!”

Meanwhile, Helena stared at the severed strand of hair scattered on the ground. Slowly, she turned her gaze to Hiemaly, her beautiful eyes filled with an overwhelming sense of disbelief.

In the instant the serpentine dart had flown toward her, she had felt a chilling killing intent, sharp and undeniable.

If not for her battle–hardened instincts, honed through years of life–and–death crises, she might have already lost her life at Hiemaly’s hands.

She stared at Hiemaly, his expression as icy and distant as the first time they met. Her chest tightened, a suffocating ache spreading through her heart.

‘Two years fighting side–by–side in the Northern Wastes, and he’d choose someone he just met over me? Is his heart forged in permafrost?‘

Before Helena could snap out of her shock at Hiemaly’s sudden move, the snake–shaped dart embedded in the wall behind her rebounded with a sharp whistle.

Hiemaly’s fingers moved with precision, catching the dart effortlessly between his index and middle fingers. The gleaming tip now pointed directly at Helena.

His voice, cold and unwavering, rang out across the hall. “As long as I’m here, no one can hurt her.”

Helena stared blankly at the dart’s cold, glinting tip, feeling like Hiemaly had torn a hole straight through her heart. Helena had always known Hiemaly to be cold and unfeeling. Even though she had fallen for this cold man, she never rushed to be with him. But now, he was ready to kill her, for some girl he’d only just met.

‘Is my love really that worthless?‘ Helena thought bitterly. Her gaze locked onto Hiemaly, her slender fingers curling into a trembling fist, her eyes brimming with hurt and defiance.
