The Abandoned Luna's Journey to Power (by Emily Reed) novel Chapter 354

Chapter 354 Sephiria Is Dead

Cindy’s POV:

Buzz!

My mind went blank in an instant. My ears rang violently, as if a thousand-pound hammer had smashed straight down on my skull.

“No-“I took a step back instinctively, shaking my head over and over. My voice was dry and brittle, like a handful of withered grass. “No way She ate so much today! She promised me she would get through this winter! She even smiled at me! You’re lying! You’re lying!”

“Cindy!” Viola rushed out as well, grabbing me just as I was about to collapse. Her face was just as pale as paper.

“It was her final surge of life… Your Highness, it was a final surge!” Carla cried as she knelt on the floor, sobbing uncontrollably. “Lady Sephiria’s body had already been hollowed out by the Bond-Breaking Order. The energy she showed today… it was the last bit of strength she could summon, just to keep you from worrying. She forced herself to look well for your sake…”

I shoved Viola aside and ran toward Sephiria’s room like a madwoman.

Bang!

I slammed the door open.

The room was quiet.

The fire in the fireplace had already died out, leaving only the faintest trace of warmth.

Sephiria lay quietly on the bed.

Katie made no sound, tears silently streaming down her face as she gently wiped Sephiria’s hand with a clean, warm towel.

Step by step, I moved toward the bed.

She had passed peacefully.

The faint flush on her face was gone, leaving only the pale gray of death.

But her brows were relaxed, and the corners of er lips still held the faintest curve.

She was no longer curled up in pain as she had been before. Instead, she lay flat on her back with her hands folded neatly over her chest, as if she had fallen into a beautiful dream she would never wake from.

“Lady Sephiria passed in her sleep,” Katie said hoarsely as she looked up at me, her eyes red and swollen. “There was no pain. No struggle. She left very peacefully. You could even say… she’s finally free.”

Finally free.
