Chapter 308 Remaining Heir — Appointment of Queen Sheena
The rain fell silently.
Fog enveloped the high balcony of the palace, resembling a shroud of grief that lingered on endlessly.
Below, the rose garden, once the site of Fitran and Sheena's dances, now lay still, as if mourning an unspoken farewell.
No birds. No wind.
Only a heavy silence existed, enveloping every corner of the kingdom like a dark veil that covered the once warm days.
The news arrived before dawn, bringing with it the shadows of sorrow that pierced the soul.
The entire Elyndra royal family—uncles, aunts, and Sheena's cousins—were found missing under circumstances shrouded in mystery. The royal investigators eventually uncovered that they had been transformed into golden dust, trapped in the basement as if engaged in an ancient ritual to reclaim a long-standing curse of gold, prompting the investigators to delve deeper into the dark and tumultuous history of the family.
Rumors circulated about the cursed pact.
Yet, fear shrouded the kingdom, raising questions about what had truly occurred behind the palace's thick walls.
Sheena stood in the palace hall, wearing a white dress. Her eyes were vacant, as if her soul was trapped in a labyrinth of sorrow with no exit.
Fitran was by her side, holding her hand tightly, as if lending her the strength that had faded from her life.
