The Devil's Betrothed novel Chapter 823

Chapter 823: End Of Zaria-II

"Don’t talk in puzzle," Morpheus was angry, as well as impatient.

His mind filled with so many questions which he had been asking himself over the last century.

Zaria’s eyes darkened hatefully. "That evil human Draven brought to our kingdom and you all treated him as your friend. He deceived your sister and managed to get information about our kingdom’s secret. And she even slept with that mongrel and carried his child..."

"No," Morpheus interrupted her. "You are lying," and attacked Zaria, but Oriana dodged it.

"Stay out of it," Morpheus warned Oriana in utter rage. "For the last time, I am warning you."

Oriana stood firm with her sword steady in her hand. "Try me."

"Why don’t you ask your friend if I am lying," Zaria said.

"I don’t need to," Morpheus said and was ready to attack again.

"She is telling the truth, Morph."

A voice finally stopped him.

Morpheus looked at Draven, shocked and speechless.

Draven repeated, "She is telling the truth. Myra was deceived. But when she realized it, it was too late."

"Draven..." Morpheus couldn’t say anymore.

Draven met his gaze steadily. "She came to me to get her punishment, but then she was already carrying a child. I let her decide her own punishment. She chose to leave the kingdom."

"Let me correct," Zaria said. "She wanted to have that child. And she knew it would be killed, as his father was that human."

"The child was innocent," Evanthe said. "As a mother, she did what she must."

Zaria offered her a mocking gaze. "And you raised that child, so of course you would find no fault in it."

"If you were a mother, you would have understood her pain," Evanthe countered.

It simply angered Zaria. "Does only giving birth count for being called a mother?" Her words were cold and bitter. Her gaze pained. "Tracia was like my own child. I raised her, trained her. And she was killed for no reason. That day, you killed the mother inside me. For killing my child, I wiped the entire clan of high elves who punished her to death. And then the last one, Myra. I hunted her, dragged her with me, and made her suffer. That’s the kind of mother I was — one who avenged her child. I don’t need to get a lesson from you on motherhood."

"A mother can do anything to avenge her child, but won’t kill another child as well," Evanthe countered. "You killed even the innocent kids of the high elf clan. You do not deserve to call yourself a mother."

"The day they killed Tracia despite my begging them not to, despite asking them to give me a chance to prove her innocence, I swore right there to kill their entire clan," Zaria declared with pride. "I had to fulfil that oath so my Tracia’s soul could rest in peace. Every tear she had shed, every injustice she had suffered that day — I avenged each one of them."

There was utter silence after she finished.
