Chapter 1909 Full Domain (Part 1)

Orpal threw Jirni's business card at her.

It was just a small piece of paper, but after being infused with Spirit Magic it traveled as fast as a bullet. The business card was also sharp enough to pierce through the gravity sheathe of her armor and cut Jirni's cheek.

If she hadn't managed to sidestep it at the last second, the card would have shattered her teeth and gone down her throat, just like she had done to Orpal one year ago.

"Don't bother calling for help. The entire place is sealed, the arrays are turned off, and the Warp Gate's cables have been cut." With each word, the intensity of his aura rose and with it the savage joy that made his heart pump.

"You can try sending some of you little slaves to call for help, but my soldiers are already outside, waiting. They could use an evening snack."

"You have quite some nerve for being a coward." The others in the room had already fallen to their knees, but Jirni's willpower allowed her to resist. "You promised me that you would have killed me first.

"Yet here I am, over one year and several corpses later. I guess that Vastor and I must have beaten you so hard that it gave you amnesia. Or did it take you this long to find a crack big enough to crawl inside my home like the cockroach you are?"

"I'm not a coward, you are!" Orpal said, sounding like a five year old. "I would have attacked you and that egg-like man much earlier if only you had come out in the open.

"Instead, you two hid inside your homes all the time and were always accompanied by Royal Guards. I'm powerful, not suicidal!"

"Indeed." Jirni nodded, buying herself some time while racking her brain to find a way out of that situation. "Yet here you are, targeting me instead of Vastor. A normal human instead of an Archmage. It doesn't sound very brave to me."

"Silence!" Orpal slammed Thorn against the ground, producing a shockwave that sent the house staff crashing against the walls and forced Jirni to crouch to not be sent flying.

"That's a better position for you, woman. Kneeling." His smile faded as soon as Jirni stood up again. "You know, I tried for months to infiltrate house Ernas, but those who had access to the arrays' control system were beyond my reach.

"House Myrok, instead, proved to be much more malleable. None of this would have been possible if not for the help of your dear cousin, Dyta."

"What?" Jirni's eyes went wide open and seeing the first sign of emotion on her face rewarded the Dead King for all his efforts. "That's impossible! We are like sisters. We-"

"What kind of sister forces the other to live in her shadow?" Orpal cut her short. "Did you really think that Dyta could be happy playing your double? She lived an insignificant life, while you, her successful cousin, got married, had a loving family, and rose to the highest honors of the Kingdom.

"Dyta is just like me and she was happy to help me, after a little persuasion, of course." Actually, Dyta had been a very tough nut to crack.

Orpal first had to find out what kind of man she liked, then he had sent a natural-born honey-trap, a Banshee, to approach her. Even then, it had taken him the Banshee's Charm ability, the Mesmerism of Vampires, and even Orpal's mind links to plant suggestions in Dyta's mind slowly erode her willpower and loyalty.
