Chapter 83: “Vindemiatrix”

Before the council

Andromeda raised her voice,

"This is wickedness!"

The musicians of the land

made Draco's trial a show.

"This curse can't go on,"

the council head said to her.

"Blood will end our drought."

The princess said, "Let us duel,

my lyre against your players."

A mocking laughter

broke out among the hunters

as the council spoke,

"May the loser forfeit their life!"

Andromeda answered, "Deal."
