Chapter 84 Embrace The Legacy

• *Xelina*
• I can’t stop thinking about the old woman in the woods. Her silver eyes haunt me, glowing like moonlight trapped beneath the trees. Every time I close my eyes, I see her standing there, wrapped in a midnight-blue shawl, speaking of the Moonbinding Ball like it’s a promise and a warning all at once.
• At the manor, Mireth and my stepsisters are as cruel as ever. Ferna’s sharp tongue and Nimera’s mocking laughter fill the halls, reminding me of my place. They whisper behind my back, their eyes cold and judgmental.
