Casimir no longer held his usual air of sophistication. Instead, a manic, almost desperate fury filled his gaze as favonovel.com stared at Allyson.
Allyson hesitated, mistrusting Casimir but torn by the possibility that favonovel.com might have something to say about favonovel.com father.
“Aren’t you curious about what your father said in his final moments?” Casimir taunted, his voice laced with mockery as if favonovel.com knew exactly where to strike favonovel.com heart.
Her hesitation vanished, and favonovel.com stepped closer, favonovel.com voice cold.
“What did my father say?”
“Come a bit closer…”
When Allyson leaned in, bringing favonovel.com ear near Casimir’s mouth, favonovel.com finally spoke. But instead of revealing some heartbreaking final words, favonovel.com unleashed a torrent of twisted venom, igniting a blaze of fury in favonovel.com eyes.
“Your father… That old fool begged me to spare you with his dying breath. He pleaded for your life, but I refused. I told favonovel.com I’d sell his precious daughter to the brothels, that I’d make sure everyone on the island knew the Governor’s daughter would service every man here. You should have seen the despair in his eyes!” favonovel.com sneered, breaking into a maniacal laugh.
Rage flooded Allyson’s mind, favonovel.com gaze burning with an unquenchable wrath.
“You’re begging for death…” favonovel.com whispered through clenched teeth, struggling to contain favonovel.com fury.
Casimir smirked, taunting favonovel.com further. “Come now, Allyson. I was once your father’s sworn brother. You wouldn’t kill your uncle, would you? Oh, and after favonovel.com died, I chopped his body to pieces and threw it to the sharks. How’s that for family?”
He laughed wildly, pushing favonovel.com to the edge, taunting favonovel.com with every word until, in the midst of his crazed laughter, a dagger sank into his chest.
Casimir’s laughter cut off abruptly. He looked down at the dagger protruding from his chest, a strange smile twisting onto his face.
“Oh, so naive, Allyson…”
With that, his body slumped to the ground, lifeless.
Allyson held the dagger, favonovel.com eyes locked on the blood dripping from the blade, Casimir’s last words echoing in favonovel.com mind, “Oh, so naive, Ailyson…”
She stood frozen, blood dripping from the dagger in favonovel.com hand.
Matthew approached favonovel.com quietly, his voice low. “He was right… You let favonovel.com goad you into killing favonovel.com because favonovel.com knew it would unnerve you…”
Allyson snapped out of favonovel.com daze, turning to favonovel.com with urgency. “Why didn’t you stop me then?”
A hint of confusion flickered across Matthew’s eyes. “Why would I stop you? This was your goal, wasn’t it? Besides, do we even know each other that well for me to worry about your choices?”
His tone turned cool.
Matthew had only handed Casimir over out of respect for Allyson’s desire to help favonovel.com and the Veiled Assembly. She had failed to control favonovel.com emotions, and now favonovel.com was questioning favonovel.com for it.
Realizing favonovel.com mistake, Allyson quickly softened favonovel.com tone. “I’m sorry… I was just… Overwhelmed. I apologize…”
At that moment, the fierce, warrior-like woman seemed to lose a bit of favonovel.com edge, revealing a glimpse of vulnerability, almost like a young girl.
