Maledicta had a perfect grin on her face as she watched the follower depart the divine realm. She went to enjoy so wine with Nyxoria, a dear friend who was completely unaware.
Maledicta was plotting to ruin her brother’s life. "You seem to be in a good mood." Nyxoria chid, sipping so wine. Maledicta shrugged.."I heard Raziel hasn’t found his dear mate these past 4 years." She chid in.
Acting like she wasn’t behind it. Nyxoria’s eyes flickered. "Do you have anything to do with it?" She asked her friend, knowing Maledicta never got over her resentnt for Raziel.
Maledicta shrugged, twirling her cup. "Do you think a re goddess of beauty and happiness can fool the king of Netheralis who controls the underworld and Hades?" She asked. Nyxoria frowned. Raziel couldn’t be easily fooled, but why hasn’t he found Elysia?
She gave Maledicta a thoughtful look. She heard whispers that her friend had attempted to kill Elysia a few years back. Although she never asked, she knew deep down it was true. She wondered if Maledicta was successful but if that’s the case.
Raziel was ant to be able to feel his soulmate’s death. "Do you think Elysia might be hiding from Raziel?" She asked, concerned for her brother. Although she never liked Elysia. A reason why Raziel can’t find Elysia might be that she is deliberately hiding from Raziel.
Maledicta’s narrowed "who knows. There are a lot of delicious n in the mortal realm." She chid. The glass in Nyxoria’s hand shattered. She was unable to rein in her fury
"She can’t dare." Nyxoria snarled. Maledicta giggled, the light in her eyes faded.
After having a good drink, she went back to her palace only to be welcod by a bloodied servant waiting for her. "I failed to get the dagger, my lady." She reported
Maledicta’s face turned into a scowl. She feigned anger. "You failed a simple request." She barked. The servant. "I am sorry my lady. She was saved by a man. He was too strong for a mortal. I fear he carries Prince Cassius’s blood." The servant report.
Maledicta smiled then squatted before the servant. "Does anyone know of this mission?" She asked the servant. "No, my lady. I kept it hidden." The servant said..
"That’s good, now go to sleep." She whispered. It was a lower divine being. She could easily kill her without any repercussions.
The servant’s eyes closed forever. Maledicta smirked. Things were coming together. Although she knew Elysia had the dagger the mission was never to get the dagger but to force Elysia to rely on Kaiden.
After that, she went back into the shadows and let the rest run its course. It was a long wait, but an immortal had all the ti in the world to waste.
Finally, it happened, Elysia got pregnant, it was finally ti she got rid of the goddess, so she started to whisper into Eleanor’s heart..
Mortals were tools in the hands of the gods. She could easily bend Eleanor to her will, manipulate scenarios where Eleanor heard exactly what she wanted the queen to hear. Eleanor’s heart was soon filled with resentnt for Ariel.
When it ca to Eleanor she hit the jackpot. Eleanor just needed a little push and she handled the rest herself.
Maledicta’s plan was to have Elysia buried for life. She knew the poison could not kill Elysia so being buried alive still seed fun.
Unfortunately, Elysia unexpectedly regained her mories thanks to Eleanor’s poison. It was a minor setback, but the second part of her plan was about to begin.
She waited for Raziel to reign chaos after finding out about her wife’s betrayal, but to her biggest disappointnt, he didn’t. Instead, he started investigating.
Maledicta withdrew from the scene for a while. This would have been a sign to give up, but Raziel’s unwavering love ignited her hatred..
She shifted her focus from Elysia to the boy of the prophecy. The one t to prove that light and darkness could unite. How annoying. Raziel couldn’t even bring himself to kill the bastard but it was fine..
If she could ruin Cedric’s life, where he is fated to kill his soulmate then her ego would be satisfied. After all, she was a bored goddess without much to do..
Cedric started to grow, Eleanor’s resentnt was the perfect catalyst. To make things fun she started whispering in the servant’s heart about the cursed boy.
She added fuel, giving Kaiden recurring dreams of Ariel’s death, reminding him that Cedric was the cause. He easily fell for it because he already hated Cedric all she did was nurture that hatred.
She sat back and watched with happiness and disgust how the father-son relationship failed.
Her next action was to find Cedric’s soul mate. At first, she thought it would be one of the gods since he was a divine being, but she was wrong.
Maledicta visited Teris, the god of ti. She wanted to have a glimpse of his future. Teris didn’t know her intentions and had found nothing suspicious about a god inquiring about a mortal’s future. He showed her Cedric’s future, one that matched the plot of’ The Priestess and Dragons.’.
"So this is his future." She asked Teris. A god who had a scholarly appearance. He was similar to Cassius. They were gods with enormous knowledge.
" He is fated to kill his wife because he was obsessed with another woman," Teris answered with a nod. Maledicta smiled happily and left. At the exit, she ran into Cassius who was coming to pay a visit to his old friend Teris
There was nothing out of place as gods normally visit Teris to learn about the future. Cassius and Maledicta’s relationship was bad, resulting from her history with Maximus and Raziel; she naturally hated the other brother.
Cassius sighed and then entered the room. "You ca for a favour," Teris said with a faint smile.
Cassius smiled. "What makes you think so?" He asked Teris, taking a seat on the rug. Teris smiled, taking a sip of his wine.
"When was the last ti you ca here, dear friend? You have been occupied in looking after your precious descendants."
Cassius smiled. Although his late mortal lover wasn’t his soul mate, he promised her before he left her that night, because of the rules.
The promise binds him to look after her and their descendants. It was the only way he could pay.
"I guess I am easy to read. Yes, I am here to ask a favour." Cassius said..
"One of Helena’s descendants, Bethany, was betrayed by fate. She prayed for to look after her baby. I want to inquire about the unborn baby’s fate. Will she survive?"
Cassius didn’t know why Bethany’s prayers plagued his mind.
