Chapter 54

Chapter 54

The excruciating pain radiating from her fingertips nearly made Athena black out. She hit down hard on her lip, desperately fighting to stay conscious.

Athena fixed Eloise and Willow with a dagger sharp glare, as if her eyes could bore holes right through them.

Whether it was loise’s heart softening, or simply her inability to withstand Athena’s piercing, accusatory gare, no one could say

Her eyes rimmed red with tears, Eloise stepped forward and said in a choked, aggrieved voice, “Athena, it’s all my fault. I tried, but I just couldn’t get Her Majesty to change her mind about you.”

Eloise hurriedly pulled Willow over and, her voice trembling y with emotion, said to Athena, “If it hadn’t been for Willow trading rearms, Her Majesty would never have agreed to change your punishment from flogging to finger placing. You suffered, yes, but at least you’re still alive because of her…”

Eloise wept bitterly, tears streaming down her face, while Willow’s eyes were red with feigned remorse. “This is all my fault, Willow choked out with exaggerated guilt. “I couldn’t persuade Her Majesty to spare you, Athena. If I could, I’d gladly take your punishment in your place.”

Her “heartfelt” words moved both Eloise and Henry, leaving them deeply pained and full of sympathy.

Nicolas looked at Willow, deeply moved. “This isn’t your fault, why should you take the blame for her?

Nicolas looked at Athena with deep disappointment, but at the sight of her injuries, his gaze softened with a hint of pity. He said, “Just focus on recovering these next few days, no wandering about”

All eyes in the room turned to Willow, filled with gratitude, because she single–handedly saved Nicolas and even persuaded the Queen to spare Athena’s

She became the savior of the Monson family and Athena.

Henry said sternly to Athena, “Athena, you owe Willow your very life. From now on, you two must get along peacefully, no more of this constant feuding Your mother and I are getting too old for such turmoil.

“You had a narrow escape this time. But what about next time? How are we supposed to save you then?”

Eloise dabbed at her eyes with a handkerchief and moved to help Athena up. “Athena’s still injured. She must have learned her lesson by now. Please, dear, let’s not scold her anymore.

“Come on, sweetheart, get up. Seeing you hurt like this really breaks your mother’s heart.”

As she reached out to steady Athena’s arm, she heard Athena give a low, bitter laugh

everyone.

She looked up, her icy gate sweeping over everyone.

Athena fixed them with a cold, mocking stare. “You all know perfectly well whether the punishment suffered today was because Her Majesty holds a grudge against me, or if it was just a cover up to fool everyone else.” With that, she turned away from their hypocritical faces and staggered out, her steps

unsteady

Willow took two steps forward and reached out to help Athena. “Let me help you, Athena” she said with feigned concern.

Willow accidentally brushed against Athena’s injured fingers. Athena’s face drained of color as beads of sweat instantly formed on her forehead.

But Willow pretended not to notice and stubbordly kept her grip on Athena’s hand.

Excruciating pain wracked Athena’s body, making her tremble violently. With her uninjured hand, she shoved Willow away with all her remaining strength and hissed, “Get lost!”

Though Athena hadn’t used much force, Willow crumpled to the ground like a boneless flower.

In an instant, Nicolas was at Willow’s side. He helped her up and glared at Athena with blaring fury. “You ungrateful wretchi”

In Nicolas‘ eyes, Willow was Athena’s leaver

Without Willow, Athena might very well have been beaten to death by the Queen,

Wet Athena not only showed no gratitude, but treated Willow with such hostility. In Nicolas eyes, the wis truty beyond redemption.

Athena’s face glistened with a thin sheen of sweat, the excruciating pain in her fingers stabbing straight to her core.

But she merely fixed Nicolas with a mocking state and said nothing

Then, she staggered out of the room on unsteady feet.

The disappointment in Athena’s eyes made Nicolas’s heart skip a beat.

He wondered, “What is she even disappointed about? Willow had gone to such lengths for her, yet she still treated Willow with such hostility

Is this how a rational person should think?”

Nicolas was about to say something more, but Eloise grabbed his arm and gently pulled him back. She shook her head slightly, silently urging him to

The excruciating pain made the world swim before Athena’s eyes. Seeing Trina, the last shred of her tightly–wound composure shattered completely

Trina immediately braced Athena’s weight against her own body and carefully guided her toward Snowdrop Wing

Athena gave a faint hum, her gaze sweeping the room. Noticing that Siena Hotham and Alza Crofton were nowhere to be seen, she quietly asked, “Where are the others?”
