Chapter 267

Vivienne was in a foul mood. She paid no attention to the conversation happening around her.

She stood up, her voice as cold as ice as she said, Tm tired. I’m heading to my room.”

With that she turned and left.

‘Til walk with you” Percival stood and followed as his hand found hers in a couple of strides.

Her fingers were icy. They felt like a winter’s frostbite that pierced her to the bone

“They have cobra grass and want boar poison They want to trade in person.”

Vivienne paused “Are you sure it’s cobra grass?”
