In the palace, as the old woman talked, a lady servant rushed in and stopped. "I am so sorry for the intrusion, Your Highness, but Odesse…" Valex's eyes widened as he stood up. "What happened to her?" The lady servant replied, "Black blood is coming from her eyes, and her body is getting paler and skinnier. She keeps mumbling things."
Valex rushed out of the parlor, and the elders looked at each other in concern. The old woman smiled subtly. Kael followed Valex as they made their way to Odesse's room upstairs. Valex opened the door to find Miss Faye placing a wet cloth on Odesse's forehead. He moved closer to the bed and saw Odesse, looking like a dried husk, as if her blood had been drained from her body. She kept mumbling incoherently.
