Chapter 360 I Am Viola

Cindy’s POV:

I looked at Lucien. Even though it felt cruel, I knew I had to throw this bloody truth right in their faces.

“She’s dead.”

I spoke slowly, each word clear and heavy, as if every syllable were a block of frozen iron. “Sephiria passed away two nights ago, at midnight, in that pathetic place. She closed her eyes forever. And when she died, not one of you thre she carried for ten months was by her side.”

“Mother!!!”

Lucien let out a desperate, heart-wrenching scream. It sounded like his soul had been ripped from his body. His legs gave out, and he collapsed to his knees, grabbing fistfuls of his own hair. Then he slammed his forehead against the floor again and again, each impact making a dull, painful thud.

“No… No way… Mother…”

Prince Niall finally snapped out of his shock.

He glanced at his son crying on the floor, then looked at Adam and me. A flash of vicious calculation crossed his eyes, but it disappeared quickly, replaced by a mask of fake sorrow.

“Sigh…” Prince Niall let out a heavy sigh. He even lifted his sleeve and pretended to wipe tears that did not exist. “How could this happen? Sephiria was jealous and made mistakes, but I always believed that as long as she prayed sincerely in the monastery, one day she would come to her senses. I never thought she would-sigh. This must be the will of the Moon Goddess. She insisted on going to the monastery to serve the goddess. I simply couldn’t stop her.”

“Bullshit!”

The furious shout exploded like thunder.

Viola, who had been standing behind me all this time, could no longer tolerate the old bastard’s hypocritical performance.

She yanked the barbed whip from her waist and cracked it hard against the floor. The sharp sound echoed through the hall as the solid marble beneath it split open with a jagged crack.

“Serve the Moon Goddess? No one would willingly leave the home they lived in for decades when they’re gravely ill, just to go die alone in that pathetic place!”
