Back in the Empyrean Sect hall, the one-hour time limit was up.
Weston still hadn't shown up, which meant he didn't find Jared.
Jared, you jerk! I'm going to kill you when I see you! Fury was written all over Lyanna's face.
“It's already been an hour. Is Poison King still not here yet?” Carlos entered the hall with people.
She tried to explain, “He's probably on his way here now. We're still waiting-”
“Do you think I'm an idiot? How far is Mapleton from the Empyrean Sect? Based on their Senior Grandmaster abilities, it’ll only take them half an hour to make a full trip there and back. It's been an hour, and Poison King is still not here yet. This means he's not going to come. We should proceed with the wedding now.” He smiled.
She remained silent as she bit her lips feeling all anxious.
“All right, don't make me force you to move. Put on your veil so we can get on with it,” he ordered with a slightly annoyed tone since she wasn't saying anything.
“Mr. Xuereb, let's-”
“Didn't I say I won't wait any further? Are you deaf?” His glare was aimed at her as he roared.
It was impossible for her to drag it any longer. She knew that and that was why she said, “I will never marry you, Carlos. If you want me, then the only thing you'll get is my corpse!”
She then aimed the dagger at her neck and slashed it.
The moment he saw that, he stepped forward and struck her shoulder with his palm to shake the dagger off of her hand.
The members of Mapleton pulled out their weapons and prepared to fight, but they were quickly subdued by the people of the Empyrean Sect.
Carlos restricted Lyanna's movement and spoke in an amused tone. “You're not going to die that easily, not until I finish using you. I don't care if you live or die after that.”
