Edward I couldn't understand Edwina's motivations behind kidnapping Rebeca, and honestly, I didn't want to delve too deeply into it. It was evident that Edwina's actions were fuelled by jealousy, a misguided attempt to inflict the pain she felt onto me by abducting my supposed bride. Stepping into Avalor, I sensed the looming threat and the need to be on guard against sudden attacks. As Damien's men closed in, preparing for combat, the uncertainty of the impending clash hung heavy in the air. Amid the brewing conflict, my single focus shifted to ensuring Edwina's safety amid the chaos surrounding us. It didn't make sense to me why my first instinct was to save her but I did it anyway.

EdwardI wanted to order my men to first break the circle the witches made with dark powder but that might wake them up. If these people were truly witches, they could cause us maximum damage so we need to find a way to neutralize them but since they are in a trance and they have no idea that we are here, I’d like to keep it that way.I drove a sword into the heart of the first one I stood close to and he bled and died right there.I ordered my men to do the same to the rest of them quietly and they did, leaving the old head witch behind.She seemed important and powerful but at the same time, she seemed old and weak.I have heard stories of an old witch whom Damien sees as his mother since his biological mother died. Serena or something like that….With caution in every move, my men and I approached the head witch lying in the center of the intricate circle. The thought lingered in my mind – what if she held the key to Damien's supernatural prowess? Witches were known for their formi

The air was thick with tension, and for a moment, he seemed like a puppet whose strings had been severed."Mother!" he exclaimed, his voice trembling with a hint of vulnerability.It was a surprising reaction from someone who exuded malevolence and cruelty."WHA...what did you do to my mother?" he stammered, the tremor in his voice giving away the depth of his distress. It was an unexpected revelation – the mighty Damien showing a vulnerability that hinted at a deeper connection."Oh Damien, this isn’t your mother, you dumb fuck! Your biological mother is dead, dumbass!" I snapped, a mixture of satisfaction and defiance in my tone.

The battlefield, once filled

EdwardI didn't understand what Edwina was saying about a wedding ceremony and I just know that no one can ever be so stupid to try that.I’m sure it is all a silly misunderstanding. It is probably just some grand ceremony of someone who didn't think to ask for permission before turning the palace upside down.In the middle of the accusations Edwina was hurling at me, I found Rebeca coming into the palace with some maids and guards. They had a lot of languages with them…I wonder what they went to get."Lady Rebeca!" I called out, my voice cutting through the din, causing a momentary pause in the bustling activity.!" I called firmly as she entered the palace with maids and guards, carrying what seemed to be a variety of languages and bags.

Was this truly how she perceived me? What had I done to warrant such a harsh judgment? As her accusations resounded in my mind, I couldn't help but wonder about the nature of her expectations.
