章 797: Chapter 336 Fool_1

But Bella chose to refuse.

—Of course, it was impossible for her to defy Vladimir. But Vladimir had taught her not only loyalty to the "Ten Fingers" but also loyalty to the Winter family.

That was a genuine curse.

Etched upon the Curse Binding of Winter's Hand, a curse to prevent them from ever betraying again... that curse, had at some point been tampered with by Vladimir, who had added a clause of his own design.

Of course, not all of Winter's Hand.

But those he personally brought out... those who, after their initiation, were fated to follow him and would not enter the service of other "Ten Fingers" had been cursed with the clause, "You must not defy Vladimir's orders."

And it was by relying on a curse to combat a curse that Bella was able to conceive the notion of resistance—

Because Vladimir's actions were undoubtedly harmful to the Winter family.
