Cruel Joke

Warlock Ch 229. Cruel Joke

Dawn started to break, the first rays of sunlight creeping over the horizon as Damian, Cassius, and Evelyn finally made it back to Victoria's mansion. It had been a long night—one filled with chaos, betrayal, and tension that hadn't completely faded even now. The battlefield was left in the hands of Victoria's soldiers, who were tasked with cleaning up the remaining mess. For once, Victoria herself led the charge, overseeing the cleanup while Damian and the others were sent back to rest.

It should've been a relief. No more fighting, no more tension—just food, rest, and quiet. But it wasn't, at least not for Damian. The whole situation left a bad taste in his mouth. Sure, they weren't being treated poorly; in fact, Henry, one of Victoria's trusted attendants, had been assigned to personally take care of them. He made sure they had everything they needed—food, medicine, even fresh clothes. On the surface, it was perfect hospitality.
