But while this happened, Nyx's eyes were narrowed on Malakai.
'He's lying.'
The ninth vein of the Sanguine clan was adept at wearing a mask. He could control his expressions and remained composed at all times.
However, he was still very much new to one expression. Smiling. He only began to smile, and faking one was nigh impossible, especially to a bloom like Nyx.
After the greetings, Malakai excused himself, stating that he needed rest after being under the sovereign's pressure for so long.
As he entered his room, he instantly slumped down on his bed and closed his eyes. He tried to calm his beating heart.
'I have to be patient.'
He was trying hard to stop himself from stomping towards location to get his revenge.
'I'm not strong enough.' He reminded himself, then a question slipped its way into his head.
'When will I be strong enough?'
Malakai replayed the sovereign's last words in his mind. 'Don't forget my warnings.'
