Chapter 45—The Bond That Cannot Break
The councils were not ready to acknowledge a traitor as the Queen of the kingdom. They had discussed and debated over and over again but the King wouldn't go back on his words. He said that was the last straw that would break the camel's back, and Genevieve was his Queen already and was going to be his Queen in a more elaborate ancient blood ritual way.
Edric defied the council and decided to marry Genevieve in an ancient blood ritual way. Both the Queen and the King had regarded it favorably and were ready to solidify their bond.
In a mystical and ancient ceremony, Edric and Genevieve sealed their union through a sacred blood ritual. This arcane practice stepped into tradition and was said to forge an unbreakable bond between the royal couple.
