Chapter 8

Damian crouched down in front of me.

“Here's some medicine and clean clothes from Seraphina.Aurora,Seraphina has always respected you.As her older sister,and as my future wife,you should take care of her.Why are you so petty?Why do you always assume the worst in people?”

“When you've thought it through,apologize.Stop making us all angry.”

He unfolded the clothes Seraphina had“prepared”for me—a coarse burlap shirt—and“thoughtfully”draped it over my back.

The rough fabric scraped against my raw wounds.It felt like being dunked in salt water.

I curled into a ball,shaking from the agony.

“So dramatic.Seraphina has her attacks,turns pale from pain,but she never makes a scene like you do.”

Damian rolled his eyes,stood up,and left.

It took me a long time to catch my breath.

“Guardian Spirit…”

“Host,shall I activate the pain-blocking function?”

“No.I want to accelerate the end of the contract.”

“Understood.Acceleration initiated.Tomorrow at noon,all characters will face the consequences.”
