章 265: Red Moon

Before the sun disappeared and the dark completely covered the skies, every tribesman entered and locked their houses. Each family stayed together and prayed to the Highest God that the Devil's child will spare their lives and livestock's. The streets were completely empty, not even dogs were left to roam around and no one dared to open neither their door nor even made a glimpse at their windows. No one wanted to see the Devil's child, not even its shadows that brought bad luck. Anyway, that child was said to have been born with a damaged face and so who would want to look at its face?

The palace was no exemption to Devil's child cursed and so just like every family in the Manggan Island, everyone who lived in the palace—the princess, the servants, Guntas and other officers—were forbidden to roam around their chambers at that particular night. The servants were dismissed early and the royal bloods retreated to their chambers at sun set.
