A/N: Happy 100th chapter, dear readers!
We made it to the triple digits together. I'm genuinely hyped, and I hope you are too.
Quick ask: this book only has 1 review, and it feels wild to hit chapter 100 with that. If you're enjoying the story, would you drop a review after this chapter? It takes only 2 minutes and genuinely helps the book reach more people.
Also heads up — massive chapter drop on the 20th. Brace yourselves.
Thanks for being here. Every comment, read, and review keeps me writing.

The beast the king had brought back had now been caged inside the throne hall to everyone's horror, placed close to the throne with only a slight distance separating it from where Alaric would sit.
No one understood why he had ordered it brought there, but Alaric had done it for one reason alone, he wanted fear to settle deep into the palace walls, and he wanted everyone to feel it whenever they stood before him.
