Chapter 30 Summary
Emilia and Fauna arrive at the masquerade ball. The atmosphere grows tense when six princes, including Wrath, enter wearing identical wolf masks. Soon after, Pride makes his own entrance and asks Emilia to dance.
During their waltz, Pride explains that Wrath serves as the impartial justice of the Seven Circles, a role requiring a fearsome reputation. Afterward, Emilia confronts Pride in a secluded alcove, revealing she knows he feigns indulgence while secretly patrolling his lands sober. Leveraging her knowledge of his stockpile of slumber root, a substance that nullifies demonic power, she blackmails him for safe passage across his lands. Pride agrees. Just as their deal is struck, Envy intercepts Emilia, announcing it is time for her to reveal her greatest fear to the assembly.
Chapter 31 Summary
As a master of ceremonies prepares to draw Emilia’s blood for the fear-extraction ritual, Wrath intervenes. Citing his victory in the morning’s hunt, he offers to sacrifice one of his own secrets in her place. Pride objects and proposes an alternative: a public sex act between Wrath and Emilia. The brothers agree, and Emilia chooses Wrath’s royal suite as the location.
