When They Beg, I Rise!

The slap sent Lemira's palm tingling with numbness!

She stared at Orion in shock, his figure suddenly loomed larger than life. She hadn't expected him to grab her hand and personally deliver a slap to Alaric's face. Silence enveloped the room.

Evelina couldn't help but feel a twinge of satisfaction seeing Alaric get slapped. This surely meant Alaric would never forgive Lemira now.

Alaric's eyes reddened, his voice laced with disbelief, "Lemira! You actually dared to hit me?"

Was she not afraid of him getting mad, cutting her off forever?

Lemira slowly retracted her hand, not going to lie, it felt kind of exhilarating. She spoke coolly, "You hit me first, now I'm returning the favor. Any problems?"

"But I'm your brother! I was stopping you from making a grave mistake with your words! How's that the same?"

Alaric always had a strong sense of pride. Even though he had apologized, he never imagined Lemira would slap him back! It felt like a blow to his ego.

Orion's lips curled with a hint of mockery, "May I ask, what exactly did she say that spelled such a disaster you're speaking of?"
