Chapter 28

Chapter 28 Cynthia Obeys Lord Drakebane's Command!

Robin casually picked up a red trench coat from the sofa and draped it over Daphne.

"The soul-binding poison from your family-you can detoxify it yourself," he said.

Daphne, still weak, looked at Robin's tall figure as he turned away. A flicker of disappointment flashed in her eyes

But when she saw the black bloodstains scattered on the floor, her heart filled with terror.

"What what is this?!

"You've been cursed with a Soul-Eating Charm," Robin said as he slowly turned to face her.

"This type of charm can only be used on a pure body before the age of three.

"The black serpent inside you was originally just a remnant soul, stripped of its true form.

"Now, after residing within you for so long, it has begun to take shape.

In a short time, the serpent will be able to leave your body, draining all your soul and essence.

When that happens, you'll be left as nothing more than a shell-a crippled body that will rapidly age until you die."

"What?" Daphne trembled in shock. "How could this happen?"

She recalled a memory from her childhood when her grandfather had a fierce argument with her mother.

Daphne never knew the details of their quarrel.

The next day, her mother was dead.

Over the years, Daphne had often experienced strange and inexplicable disco long. all night

During her monthly cycles, the pain was as if millions of ants were gnawing at her bones, making it unbearable.

Afterward, she always felt as though she had barely escaped death.

In recent years, she had sought out many world-renowned doctors.

Not a single one could determine what was wrong with her body.

"Your body often feels cold, your emotions swing to extreme lows, and during that time of the month, you have violent, bloodthirsty urges.

"All these symptoms are caused by the Soul-Eating Charm wreaking havoc inside you."

"If this curse isn't removed, you won't live to see your twenty-first birthday!

"In the end, your life will be drained away, your soul withered, leaving you to die a slow, agonizing death"

Hearing this, Daphne's eyes widened in shock.
