Eresia stared intently at Kai, her anger reaching its peak. "Is there anyone as ignorant as you? Do you even understand what I'm saying?!"
Kai bowed his head. He was willing to be punished if it meant he could stay with Sylas. He didn't want to leave his master, not even in his dreams.
Even if he had to live forever in the basement, hidden from the outside world, it didn't matter to him. Sylas was his life.
Eresia was furious. She slapped him hard, knocking Kai to the side. His cheek turned red.
Ian and Alora were shocked. Ian rushed to help Kai and immediately stood in front of Eresia when she was about to slap him again.
Ian held her back, then knelt in front of Eresia. "Your Highness, please forgive us. My Lord is still sick. Please don't hurt him."
Eresia was furious. "He's sick? Why doesn't he just die?!"
