"I-If you marry him, I will cut my throat!" Kai declared with a cracking voice. His hand trembled violently as he pressed the flat of the sword against his own neck, eyes glossy and wide as though the world had already ended and no one had informed him politely.

"P-Please, Vesp... anyone but him!" Finnian collapsed to his knees in front of her, clutching the hem of her dress as if it were the last anchor keeping him from drowning. His shoulders shook while he tried to breathe through sobs, having only heard from Kai and Leon about the deal she made with Aether.
