Chapter 209

• Third Person's POV
• Yuna had spent the last months of her life stepping over Luna Evelyn's child, reshaping her daughter's destiny with ruthless precision.
• Did Celestine know? Most likely. Yet she refused to face the truth that her mother's schemes had been fueled by her own mortality. Instead, she let the blame slide onto Aysel. Bound by her mother's dying instructions, Celestine drained Aysel with merciless devotion, as if burying her into the dust could honor Yuna's plan.
