Aetherius walked closer to Beda, placing a hand on her shoulder. She became silent as he touched her cheek.
"Since you hate her so much, would you get rid of her?" He asked her softly.
Beda furrowed her brows, glaring back at him.
"Can I do that?" She asked.
"It's impossible since you're so weak. They might annoy you by mentioning her name constantly, but they are right about her being strong"
"You're also annoying me, my lord" she frowned, clenching her fist.
"If you want to crush her, then get stronger and complete your training..."
"I thought she was dead" she interrupted him.
Aetherius fell silent. He, too, wished Celina would die. But there was no sign of her body being buried. As long as Vlad has her, she could still be alive.
"Let's hope so too. Once you complete your training with the others and a year of training with me, you'll be stronger than anyone," he assured her.
