Chapter 175: Devon’s Bloodthread
In a secluded area in the wilderness outside the borders of Ebodia, Marla had established a secure camp with several of Devon’s followers who had managed to escape the Dragon King’s attack and evade his men.
Devon had spies and loyalists embedded in every kingdom, and they were now receiving support from an undiscovered ally within the kingdom of Ebodia.
"Are you telling me that you still can’t open this damn journal?" their ally from Ebodia, dressed in a black hoodie cloak, questioned Marla with a frown.
"The spell cast on this journal is too powerful, sealed with divine blood. I will need divine blood to open it," Marla replied, her frustration evident. She had only recently discovered this after studying the journal, which was said to belong to the Seer of Ebodia, for days.
Her face contorted as her thoughts wandered to Katelina. She added, "It’s likely a spell from that fallen angel Dana, bonding Katelina to this journal as its owner. Only those with divine blood will be able to read what’s inside, particularly the ones who share the same blood as Dana aside from Katelina. I wonder what that bitch wrote in here for it to be sealed this tightly."
"Katelina?" the man questioned.
"Yes, Katelina Grimaldi... the Queen Regent of Zion right now. She’s the same woman who was Devon’s favorite mistress and the unwilling spy he planted with Ezekiel as Ebodia’s new fated Seer. Right, you’re not aware of it because Lord Devon wanted Katelina all to himself, so he practically hid her existence inside Helion. No one has actually seen her face since it was always covered with a veil... just like how she still covers her face as the Queen Regent of Zion," Marla informed.
"That’s a good piece of information that could be useful against our Dragon King. He’s so powerful right now, and the people love him for everything he’s done. Yet, that won’t last long because I will make sure to stain his name in every possible way," the man maliciously declared.
"Is your spy still inside the king’s palace?" Marla inquired.
