Chapter 107: Demon taking over

Theresa hurriedly guided Anastasia away from the inner side of the palace until they came to a stop in the middle of a deserted corridor. She turned to look at the young woman and asked in a panic, 

"W—what in God's name happened there?! Was it the devil??" 

Still reeling from shock, Anastasia distantly registered Theresa's bewildered exclamation, 

"I have never seen or heard of such a thing before! Those horns—"

"Demon," Anastasia whispered, her eyes staring into space, her hands cold from the shock of seeing Dante's transformation. She shifted her gaze to meet Theresa's eyes and repeated, "Demon blood… that is what flows through the veins of the Blackthorn family." 

"I have heard rumours about it, but what we saw back there has never been spoken of before," Theresa said as she paced back and forth, wringing her hands.
