Chapter 246: Annora’s Pain
She wanted to painfully torture him but they could not assert control over him. Follow the rules of the world... Keep things the way they should be... And yet they allowed Adeline to keep her lightning powers! Adeline in her past did not have any powers!
Annora gritted her teeth, her hands trembling with frustration. She wanted to break Edward, to make him suffer, to make him kneel before her in complete submission—but no matter how hard she tried, she couldn’t assert control over him. It wasn’t working.
Her fingers dug into her palms, nails pressing painfully into her skin. They kept telling her to follow the rules of the world, to keep things the way they should be. But what did that even mean? They had no problem letting Adeline keep her lightning powers!
Adeline.
Her stomach twisted with rage at the thought of her.
In their past life, Adeline had been nothing. A spoiled noblewoman with a cruel heart and no real power of her own. She had relied on her position, on her father’s influence, on the people around her to do her dirty work. And yet, in this life, she was stronger.
She had powers—lightning magic that should have never belonged to her. Holy Powers that were not hers! Immense holy powers!
Why?!
Annora clenched her jaw. If they truly cared about the rules, about maintaining balance, then why did they allow her to keep her powers? Why was Adeline an exception?
They were all talk.
Weak.
