Chapter 123

"I am not here to take you back with me. I'm here to punish you." He drew his sword. 

"What did I do?" Celossia took several steps back. "Husband, whatever Delaney told you is a lie. She started the fight between us and tried to kill me. She is using the fact that she is Archer's granddaughter to throw her power around and use it against everyone else!" She sobbed. 

"I can't believe I fell for such insane lies." Darius huffed at his past self, moments before he uttered something in what must be the language of deities and made Celossia's wings appear. He stuck his hand in between the bars and sliced through one of her wings with the sword of the sun, sending Celossia screaming in pain. 

"Do you know how it feels now, to have someone you love cause your deepest wound?" He sneered, then changed his mind. "Probably not. You didn't love me."
