Geoffrey sat in stunned silence, struggling to grasp the gravity of Xavier’s words. After a long pause, he asked, “What do you mean by a great calamity?”

Xavier spoke gravely, “There are signs. This death–bringing soul–its curse strikes the parents first, the mother suffers first, followed by other women in the household. With Prudence absent, it will fall on the stepmother and the eldest sister. Finally, it will be you, Geoffrey. If you don’t take precautions, your reputation will be ruined and you may even die in a foreign land.”

Geoffrey’s face paled with fear. From what he knew, Xavier had been absent from Argentum for a while, yet somehow he knew the family’s secrets–how could he possibly know that the stepmother and Michelle had been affected if it wasn’t for some warning?

Xavier continued with a sigh. “You must act soon. Either marry her off quickly, or send her back to Windermount. The death–bringing soul, once it’s tasted blood, will always hunger for it. If you send her away before it escalates, there might still be a chance.”

Geoffrey’s voice lowered in dread. “She has already killed someone.”

Xavier’s face paled in shock. “In that case, Geoffrey, you must urgently find her a match. Do not seek a prestigious family–she needs someone with a dark aura, preferably a butcher. If you don’t, it will be hard to contain the disaster she might bring.”

Geoffrey stared at Xavier, his mind racing. “Earlier, you said Prunella’s soul is unsettled. Did she send you a dream? What did she say?”

Xavier exhaled deeply, shaking his head. “No, it’s not a dream. It’s a sign. I divined it. When a soul cries, it means it is restless.”

“She cried?” Geoffrey’s heart clenched at the thought.

When he had married Prunella, she had cried heavily on their wedding day, unable to part with her parents. After entering their new home, she cried more, and he wiped away her tears, promising to be her husband for life, vowing never to make her cry again.
