Chapter 384 - Chapter 380 – Execution

The nights in Nocturne were always cold, but that night felt colder than usual. Thin black mist drifted slowly through the obsidian corridors of the castle, carrying the scent of black roses blooming in the lower garden and the faint smell of hot iron from the dwarf forges that still worked late into the night. In the queen's private chambers, a large room with jet-black stone walls, a massive obsidian bed layered with phantom wolf fur, and tall windows overlooking the faintly glittering city of Nocturne beneath the mist Sylvia and Sofia slept together.
