Warlock Ch 336. You Sounded Like You Wanted to Kill Me
Damian forced a small smirk, trying to mask the tension building inside him. "You told me once," he said. "And you sounded like you wanted to kill me for it."
Aria's brow furrowed slightly.
He continued, voice casual, even if his heartbeat wasn't. "It is about… 'The Evil One,' right?"
The shift was instantaneous. Her expression darkened, her eyes flashing with something sharp. A tension so sudden, so visceral, that Damian almost regretted saying it. Her lips pressed into a thin line. "Just say his name properly," she snapped, her voice laced with irritation.
Damian blinked.
She was mad. Like, genuinely mad. Not her usual calm, composed senator mode. This was something else.
He had expected some reaction.
But this?
This was not what he expected.
Aria crossed her arms, her glare pinning him in place. "Why call him that?"
