Chapter 75 – Hector's New Partner

• Isabella could not help but eavesdrop on the intense conversation between Hector and Anastasia as they stood in the palace courtyard. A sinister grin tugged at the corners of her lips as she overheard their whispered discussions about their shared vendetta against Alexander.
• Hector's voice dripped with venom as he spoke to Anastasia, their connection apparent even from a distance. “Ana, my love, I've had enough! He's always been the favored one, while I've been pushed aside and overlooked. We have to make our move now while he is in the palace. I need a stronger poison. Not one that will merely put him to sleep. One that will eliminate him for good.”
• Anastasia's eyes flashed with determination as she held Hector's gaze. “You're right. It's time we made our move. I will have to get a stronger poison though. It will take me some time.”
