Chapter 67 What Are You Doing?!

• Tori felt the heels of Merilla's sandals piercing her scalp as the lunatic traitor added brute force to her head. She closed her eyes but Tori never yelped in pain. Instead, she let out an insulting laugh as blood from her wounds flowed to her forehead and then to the floor. "Did I hit your sore spot, Lady Merilla? With your wit, you can be an asset to the first prince yet you stayed in the aristocratic faction. Before I arrived, Prince Corean's candidacy to the throne was almost close to none yet you did not leave him for Prince Lauren. You had a lot of chance yet you remained by his highness's side. You love the second prince so you chose to be his aide. You wanted him to recognize you. And perhaps, you are hoping to bring back my head as a prize to be recognized by both the aristocratic faction and your beloved unrequited love. Poor Tessa, she won't see what's coming until it hit her until you betray her too."
• Afraid that she could crush Tori to death, Merilla kneeled to grab her hair which was splattered on the wooden floor and matted with her blood. "Laugh all you want, Victoria. But at the end of this journey, your head will roll. Your sister and father will be delighted. I bet they'll take the VIP seats at the plaza when your execution day comes." She let go of her head harshly causing her forehead to hit the wooden floor.
• The loud thud of her forehead followed by the loud bang of the door being closed was the last thing that Tori felt and heard before passing out from the impact.
