Chapter 197: The Story Of Fire And Ice {18}
"Princess Alice was the key to that, an unrequited love from him to her would cause the chain he was willing to forge to divert the misfortune because her destiny was blackened, she was the perfect candidate, but it was harder than it took to divert such misfortune smite by the Mother goddess, Olivia’s death was ant to be the end of your misfortune, and then you would have been freed but..."
I shook my head. "I told him not to marry her.... because of ..."
"Yes to no longer make you hurt he took a risk to end the engagent with Princess Alice and sought another way to divert the Misfortune but a curse so strong cannot be contained and thus what happened to you that night"
"It’s all my fault," I said in a whisper as my eyes trembled.
"Magnus couldn’t bear to see you suffer for a curse that was ant for only him so he did the ultimate sacrifice"
"No," I said as my breath beca shaken.
"His life in exchange for your freedom"
"No" I broke into tears.
"Believe , Lady Sylvia this was his choice and his alone, you do not need to bla yourself, everything he did was for you... but such act of taking the misfortune all himself resulted in his soul being destroyed"
That was why I didn’t feel him anymore, that was why I felt darkness, even if the body dies the soul was ant to remain, either to ascend to heaven or fall into the line of reincarnation, I read about that once. And now because of , Cedric was forever gone, because he was protecting .
"His trial in the Mortal Realm was ant to end with his soul still intact, but now everything changed," Beowulf said sadly.
I pulled my knees to my chest as I cried harder, I felt Mint’s hand on my shoulder, only my cries and sob echoed in my chambers and the sound of the pouring rain outside.

I watched the scene with sad eyes, the sudden reminiscing feeling I felt, it was strong and all our tis in the Mortal Realm played in my head.
"Magnus’ sacrifice in the Mortal Realm broke the curse and your misfortune just like I planned it would be," Mother says. "And knowing who you’re, I knew you would never bend to the law keeping you away from him. This is why when it was planned for you to marry Lawrence, you saw reason"
The scene changed.

"About what the officials decided..." Emperor Lawrence began.
"Marriage to a Silver-Haired is what’s best for the Empire, your heirs should be pure blood warlocks, that is what The past Emperor would have wanted" I answered before he could go on.
Lawrence frowned. "I know for a fact that arranged marriage is made by the higher-ups, no other has a say in the matter"
"Yes which is why the marriage will happen"
"No" he cut
off, his serious gaze on . "I expected you not to agree to this," he said.
I huffed at his words which were rather rude of
but I didn’t care.
"Would my voice have mattered?" I began a little loud that caught others’ attention. "If I had said NO then would it have mattered?"
"Sylvia" he began but I didn’t let him, it was high ti I set myself loose.
"We live in a world where Silver-Haired are treated beneath a diamond rather than the jewels they truly are. You fixed us on marriage you all so please... either we find love or we find hate" I looked towards Camille but she looked away.
"So of us find love" My gaze to Danette, her hand on her round stomach, then it fell on Dalton beside her. "And we get hate in return from the ones we love".
Dalton frowned before he looked away.
"So of us are too late to even approach such feelings
