章節 72: Chapter 71

After the infection test for the remaining villagers was completed, King Cedric signaled for the crowd to disperse with a wave of his hand. The villagers, still murmuring among themselves, slowly retreated to their homes, casting uneasy glances back at the square.

Aurora stood, her eyes darting from person to person as she watched the scene unfold. She couldn't help but feel a sense of guilt, a feeling that it was her fault. If she had held onto Lily tightly and prevented her from running towards her mother, maybe this wouldn't have been her fate. Her eyes landed on Adrian, who stood with his family, a small smile on his face.
