Break Him (Ch.739)

Diandre sat in the royal hall, her brows furrowed slightly, expression deep in thought. The thorns on the Fae royal throne pricked into her skin, and a steady flow of blood dripped to the ground, adding to the swiftly growing pool.

Each droplet of blood hit the ground with an echo through the quiet hall, a reminder that this throne could only belong to the High Queen... and though she had sacrificed her entire life to be worthy of it, of the bloodline she was born into, even at this very moment, she still was deemed unworthy.

The hope that she had sought all her life had come, one of their bloodline was finally worthy, the shackles of the curse could finally be broken, yet Diandre felt no relief... instead, her heart constricted in pain with each breath, each breath that reminded her that redemption had skipped her generation.
