Chapter 289 – Outcome (5)

Translator: Atlas / Editor: Regan

Leahs beautiful white dress was ruined. No one would ever have known it was a wedding dress; it was not only blood-stained, it was in tatters, and the bride was walking down a long corridor in bare feet.

Coming to a halt before a large door, she slowly pushed it open. It was the Glory Room, filled with masterpieces made by artists who had wanted the light to shine on Estia forever.

On a clear day, there was a light that streamed through the window in the center of the domed roof, illuminating the room. But the sky outside was covered in black smoke, and the light in the room was very dim.

Leah gazed out the window blankly. It didnt take long before she could hear noises from outside the room, and she hoped the door would open soon. The noise was getting louder as it approached.

Her hands trembled, and she had to force herself to stifle it. It would be a lie if she claimed she wasnt afraid, but she had to get over it. There was something more important.

—Im not afraid of anything, so long as I have you.

She remembered a calm voice, a man who was not afraid. Thinking of his golden eyes calmed her.

The wait was long and time fleeted by as the noise drew nearer and finally reached the Glory Room. The door swung open abruptly, and Leah turned her gaze toward it.

“……”

The first thing she noticed was his blond hair. Blain had not come alone. As they entered the room, Leah looked away. Behind him were many other Tomaris.

Cerdina had betrayed them. She had eaten the hearts of her own people, a crime that was unforgivable in every nation. But still, there would be those who were attracted by her great power.

That was the case with these Toma, who still followed her. Even knowing her aberrant behavior, and knowing that at any moment she might decide to devour their hearts, they were still determined to follow her to the end.
