Chapter 341: Habit of judging
Alora attended the mourning ceremony of her grandmother. Her family was astonished to see her awake because, until early that morning, they had received news that Alora would wake up after a year.
Magnus took it upon himself to explain Alora’s quick transformation to her bewildered relatives.
Norman approached them, an expression of deep regret etched on his face. "I owe both of you an apology," he began, his voice filled with remorse. "My one wrong decision of not letting my mother get punished earlier led to a series of unfortunate incidents."
"It’s alright, Norman," Magnus said, his tone measured. "I was in so much rage that I ripped your mother’s heart out. Because of the old woman, Alora is no longer human," he stated, glancing at his wife, who stood a little distance away with her mother and sister.
Norman’s shoulders slumped as he sighed. "Yes, she couldn’t live much of her life as a human. I was the one who caused so many troubles for Alora from her childhood. I wish I could provide her the happiness that every child deserves," he admitted, his voice heavy with regret.
Magnus’s expression softened slightly. "There’s no use in remorse anymore," he said. "I’ll make sure to fill her each day with joy," he added, determination clear in his voice.
"I completely trust Your Highness," Norman replied. "But what surprises me is how Alora has such good control over her thirst for blood. In the case of Elliot, he almost went berserk," he remarked, astonished.
Magnus nodded thoughtfully. "Norman, your daughter has always been a blessing in disguise for you. You refused to see her worth for a long time—almost twenty-four years. Alora is different from any normal human around her. Her kindness and good heart are her strengths. She’s magical; that’s why she’s unique in everything," he elaborated.
Norman nodded, noticing the pride that radiated from Magnus whenever he spoke of Alora. His gaze always held an unexplainable depth of affection for her, a testament to the love he felt for his wife.
