Chapter 268: Keeping Silent

"Oh no, you don't!" Margaret blocked Laina's way. 

No matter what it took, she was not about to let Laina leave without a proper explanation. What she did not expect, was for Laina to draw a weapon. The former princess drew a sword from her spatial storage. 

Everyone gasped in shock. The children looked on in horror, uncertain of how things escalated. Marius was surprised too. He never expected Laina to point a weapon at Margaret. 

"Laina... what are you..." Margaret was confused. 

Why was she so upset by the question? Her mind swirled with possibilities. 

"I... I just really need to go-" 

"You found out," Margaret gasped as she covered her mouth. 

Her hands were shaking. She did not know how it happened or when, but Margaret was certain. Laina found out about the curse. 

Marius, still unable to put the pieces, was more confused than ever, "Found out? Found out about what?"
