Chapter 167: The Coven’s Fate
The ancient temple lay eerily quiet as Malefica stood frozen, her tears now dried. A mix of sadness and relief was etched onto her face, emotions swirling as she processed the revelations from the pool.
'So…my Father never abandoned Mother,' she thought, the weight of this truth filling her with bittersweet joy.
Even as a demon, he had loved her, and his ultimate fate—sealed within Evergreen City—now made sense.
Yet, this knowledge had unearthed even darker secrets about her lineage and destiny. Her father's transformation, her grandmother's curse… these were all pieces of a chilling puzzle.
Malefica bit her lip, contemplating the strange forces that had shaped her life. Her mother's death, her isolation, and the curse cast by her grandmother all seemed to stem from a single, dreadful purpose: to prevent her from meeting the prophesied Knight of Order.
