Under the Veil I Rule

Chapter 66

The atmosphere between Amara and Finnian had now become awkward, and Amara was desperately searching for a topic to break the tension. Suddenly, Finnian remembered something and headed to the bathroom.

Amara remained silent, freezing in a rather undignified position, her backside awkwardly sticking out.

Quickly regaining her composure, she looked back. Finnian was holding the snake by its tail, and the snake dangled limply, its posture unnatural and not at all like a living creature.
