"Who are you?" I drawled carefully, squinting at the man with blackened eyes. "Or rather... Who has control over you right now?"
The leaders gasped throughout the event hall, turning their heads to the man and scrutinising him closely due to my words.
Meanwhile, the man only grinned, keeping his palm glued to the pillar. He tilted his head, chuckling darkly. "What gave it away? The dark eyes?"
The voice that came out was all too familiar to me. Because I've heard it in my head for months, pushing me to give in to my darkest desires.
My eyes twitched as I got on my feet, raising my right hand to the ceiling without saying a word.
An invisible force held the man in place before levitating him several feet off the ground, his limbs stiffening like wood.
Kaelos frowned, staring at me with concern but I was too focused on the rage simmering through me.
"What's going on? Why's she attacking him for asking a question?" A woman squealed from a corner of the hall.
