Chapter 228: THE TRUTH ABOU THE LYCAN (2)
Zuri knew about the fact that the lycan took children for their ritual in order to complete the beauty blood. Before Khaos, the ritual for the beauty blood had been recorded and Khaos had taught her of how to read it.
She was not good at it, but Khaos had told her the number of the people, who had died in the process of the completion of the beauty blood. The number was huge, but apparently, what was said in the scriptures of the lycan didn’t cover the actual number.
What was written down in the scriptures, was only the children from the nobles’ families, but it didn’t cover the number of the children of the commoners.
Since beauty blood meant for a hundred dark curses, it meant they had to start it in the very early age, because they had to wait for the body to adjust to it and add the curses as time went by.
If they added the number of the commoners’ children, the number would be staggering.
And now, Zuri remembered of the old woman, who sold two little girls to her. She said it herself that the lycan wanted children. They needed the children for their ritual.
That woman was old enough to live in the era where the old dynasty was still at its peak.
"You may not believe me. I can understand that," Lorent said, his voice was soothing. He didn’t force Zuri to believe him, but he gave her space to think. "But, there is someone that I know, who was succumbed to that fate." He then added. "The same fate like you."
He knew.
This man knew that Zuri was the Shell. She was the beauty blood.
Zuri said nothing to respond to his statement. Her face didn’t betray the turmoil in her heart, but her head kept ringing with the voices that mocked her for her choice to choose Khaos.
