บท 433: I Am The One To Bring Disaster To This Kingdom

"Help?" the older woman asked. "How? What happened?"

Esther did not hesitate to narrate the entire event to them, from the things that happened inside the Temple of the Divine up until her visit to the ancient temple. She did not even hide what would happen to Theron if he accepted the curse in his body.

The old couple were overwhelmed by everything their daughter-in-law mentioned, especially King Esteban who had no idea things would turn out this way when he suggested his son seek the High Priest. 

"Theron? My son? He plans to suffer that curse on his own?" the older lady mumbled with a pale face, her hands quivering as if she's on the verge of fainting. 

"Yes, Mother. Knowing him, I am sure he will not hesitate to sacrifice himself. However, I don't want him to do it. I don't want him to accept such a cruel fate. No one deserves to go bear such cruelty, and I believe neither do you."
