Chapter 494 – Heir of War
"I… I don't know." Lumy managed to say under the crushing force of Dain's grip on her jaw. "I don't know what you're talking about."
"Oh?" Dain replied, lips pulling into a cold smile. "You really don't?"
"I don't—"
"Let me ask you again, Lumy." He cut in, his voice dropping colder with every word, Griffin's eyes blazing beside him, ready to reduce her to ash. "You truly have no idea? And let me clarify something you might be misunderstanding about this situation."
He held her gaze for three slow breaths before continuing.
"If you think I will kill you for refusing to answer—" he shook his head with quiet amusement "—then you should clear that thought from your mind right now. At the point I am, Golden Fox, there is nothing I am not prepared to do to get ahead of this war."
He leaned closer. "Look into my eyes."
His face dropped to within an inch of hers. Lumy shuddered.
"Do you see mercy in them?"
"I… I—"
"Stop your damn stuttering and speak."
