Forlevia shook her head adamantly. “No!
Mommy cannot die! I won't allow it to happen!”
“You...”
Edmund fell into a dilemma.
Am I really to strike Evie? Will the elders approve of my actions?
“Do you know that your mother has committed many crimes and murdered a lot of people? Do you know how much blood she has on her hands?” Edmund questioned.
Forlevia shook her head. “My mother must have been framed as killing isn't in her nature.
Furthermore, I don't care about that. As long as I'm here, I will protect her!”
The elders hiding in the shadows began to worry as their worst fears had come true.
Forlevia had finally intervened.
Consequently, they agonized over whether they should get involved in the event of a battle.
“Haha, what a joke! The She-Devil's daughter turns out to be The Cardinal Hall's most talented fighter?”
“Looks like The Cardinal Hall is just a breeding ground for devils! This is ridiculous. They too are nothing but hypocrites!”
“Is The Cardinal Hall trying to protect the She-Devil instead?”
The crowds loud jeers humiliated The Cardinal
Hall.
It was a disgrace for them to be somehow related to the She-Devil.
Therefore, there was a greater urgency to kill Zoey as they had to redeem their reputation.
“Stop spouting nonsense. When the child joined The Cardinal Hall, she was completely cut off from the outside world. Therefore, her mother has nothing to do with her and neither is She-Devil related to The Cardinal Hall.”
“Let me say this again. The She-Devil will be decapitated today by the Skyward Sword, and no one will stand in my way!” Edmund declared aloud.
“Haha, with the kid blocking you, do you dare do it?”
“I suppose not! I'm sure you won't raise your hand against her.”
The crowd mocked Edmund.
“I'm not afraid to do anything. Whoever stops me from slaying Zoey will die!”
