1493 Waiting For The Blossoming (2/2)

”She was truly evil, the disgrace of my life!” Headmistress Perry shouted.

”We didn't understand what she was thinking. She would never do anything like that. Even though she was passionate about magic, she was friendly and respectful to everyone,” Ceylan looked at Brianca.

Brianca nodded. For a long period of time, Brianca had admired Yuria's ability to keep up with her cultivation while maintaining a close relationship with the others.

”She was obviously led astray by those wicked women of the Parthenon Temple; what other reason could it be!?” Headmistress Perry said.

”Wouldn't she have a bright future, then? Why did she commit suicide in the end?” Mo Fan asked.

”She came back eventually, I bet the Muse tricked her, or used her to make the Alps Institute a laughing stock to the world. After everything she did, she still lied to us that she never joined the Parthenon Temple. She only escaped to tell the Muse that she had decided not to take her offer. She had planned to stay at the Alps Institute… such nonsense!” Headmistress Perry said.

Headmistress Perry was reluctant to say anything at first, but whenever she spoke, she would spill everything. It had obviously bothered her for a long time.

Ceylan noticed that Headmistress Perry was being a little emotional with her explanation. She said, ”Yuria told us that she never joined the Parthenon Temple. In order to prove that she never did anything to humiliate the Alps Institute, she slit her wrists so her blood would permeate the soil in Roia Garden...”

”What's Roia Garden?” Mo Fan asked.

”Roia Garden was where the Forbidden Mage cast a Psychic Spell. If someone swears an oath with their soul and drips their blood into the soil, the Roia Flowers in the garden will blossom if the person is telling the truth, and the seal of her soul belongs to the Alps,” Ceylan explained.

Ceylan paused for a long time. Mo Fan was thinking, and did not interrupt.

Ceylan was calmly explaining the incident at first, but as she proceeded to explain the next part, her eyes were brimming with tears, and her friendly face twisted in pain. She could not find any words after a long time.

Yurai was like a daughter to Headmistress Perry and Ceylan. No matter how angry they were at her betrayal, no matter how the others despised her, they were still struggling to let it go. Even as she recalled the incident, she was overwhelmed by grief and pain instead of anger, and the same went with Headmistress Perry!

”When her blood fell on the soil, the Roia Flowers did not react...” Brianca knew the two women were struggling to continue speaking. She said to Mo Fan, ”She was lying. Everyone was watching her, and we all believed she lied.”

”She seemed to be in disbelief, too. Her blood continued to flow in the garden, but the Roia Flowers did not blossom. She just stood there...”

Mo Fan could feel his heart racing when Brianca finished.

He could imagine the girl called Yuria standing on the soil that was the only way to prove her innocence, and the determined look on her face gradually turning paler as she lost her blood!

”The flowers did not blossom in the end?” Mo Fan asked.

”It hasn't, even now...”

”Is there a chance that the Roia Flowers stopped working as intended?” Mo Fan asked.

”No, it's a forbidden spell, nothing could ever go wrong… besides, she is dead. It no longer matters what the answer was,” Brianca said.

”That's true,” Mo Fan nodded.

The room fell silent for some time. Even Mo Fan felt his nose tingling after listening to the story, let alone the people that witnessed it in person. Headmistress Perry and Ceylan were extremely bothered by her death. It did not matter if their student betrayed the school or not, the remorse on their faces clearly indicated if they could go back in time to the day, they would have stopped the girl from waiting for the flowers to bloom, instead of watching her life slowly drain away...

---

The person that would have a strong hatred for the school was none other than Yuria, but the girl was already dead. Even if she turned into a vengeful spirit, she could not possibly be responsible for the things that had happened, including poisoning Herr Casa and placing him under a Curse.

”So what does it have to do with Herr Casa's situation?” Edith and Sheryl eventually asked.

”Isn't anyone confused by Amelia's death? It really feels like Herr Casa's life is a lot more precious than Amelia's life in your eyes,” Mo Fan wondered aloud.

”Amelia's death?” Brianca asked, looking confused.

The others were startled. As they recalled that, they immediately felt a great chill running down their spine, giving them goosebumps!
