But if Eloise bold the truth, she knew that Willow would surely die too

Elone clenched her teeth, her heart tom by the impossible choice

Athena raised her dagger once more, pressing closer to Willow. She threatened coldly, “If you don’t talk, I’ll start cutting off her fingers one by one. I won’t stop until you start speaking”

“Save me, Mom! Athena is a psycho” Willow cowered in bemor while curling into a ball. Just as Athena was about to strike, Eloise finally broke down and

blurted out the truth.

“I’ll talk. I’ll talk!” Eloise sobbed, the words tumbling out in a rush, “Nicolas is a remnant of the fallen country before ours.”

With those words, Eloise completely broke down.
