Chapter 2186 Master of Puppets

Cassie remained silent for a few moments.

'Self-evident...'

Was that the answer she had expected? Or the opposite of it? She was not sure, since Ki Song — the Raven Queen — was a nebulous existence. She was much more reticent and withdrawn than Anvil, ruling the Song Domain from the depths of her obsidian palace.

Who knew what was on her mind?

Cassie smiled faintly.

"If you see the war as failure, why did you start it?"

The dead queen studied her quietly, then sighed. "Are you really in the position to ask me questions, Song of the Fallen?"

There was no particular threat in her voice, but Cassie shivered. What position was she in? Blind, stripped of her Aspect, driven to her knees, and at the mercy of her captors… it was hard to imagine someone more powerless. And yet, that was exactly where Cassie wanted to be. That was the position from which she was planning to break the Song Domain. But Ki Song did not have to know that. Cassie raised her chin slightly. "I guess I am not. However, I know a lot of secrets… one of them in particular would be of great value to Your Majesty."

Ki Song raised an eyebrow. "Oh? You want to barter with me…"

Before the dead boy even finished speaking, the dead girl laughed. Then, both of them abruptly grew silent. The Queen looked at Cassie coldly, making her heart beat like a bird trapped in a cage. "But I don't need to pay. Any secret you have, I can simply take."

She raised a hand in a fluid, elegant motion…

And at the same time, Cassie's own hand rose, mirroring what Ki Song had done. She turned her head, studying it in horror. "Y—you… you…"

The Queen smiled coldly. "You have drunk of my blood. Now, you are my puppet. You will do as I command, whether you like it or not."

Cassie struggled to suppress the trembling that had overwhelmed her body. She failed to do so, so Ki Song did it for her. As her slender hand turned into a fist, Cassie's body grew motionless. Only her eyes, hidden by the blindfold, were moving erratically. '...I see. Makes sense.'
