The future can be written but it isn't certain. There was a chance Cedric would not even be born despite Elysia losing her memories.
Maledicta to have her perfect revenge and satisfy her ego and hatred towards the mate bond made silent moves in the dark. She was a goddess, so she couldn't do things directly; she sent others by whispering in their ears.
Her first target was Claire. Maledicta whispered in Claire's mind, telling her that her precious Ariel would disappear one day. She slowly sowed discord in her heart.
"Her condition is stable. She will regain her memories soon." The apothecary told Claire. They were standing outside the house where Elysia ' Ariel' was asleep inside.
Claire had been concerned about Ariel's condition and consulted the apothecary. She could not afford a good physician, so when she came across this cheap apothecary, she jumped on the offer.
