Amber's eyes glinted with fire as she stepped closer.
Amber:
"As the story goes… that cunning fox wasn't silent at all.
It went straight to her enemies and whispered, 'Take revenge on her son… for his mother is gone.'" 😏
She let the words sink in, then her gaze hardened.
"Such a cunning fox… her enemies killed her son when he was young… fully, completely, with revenge in their hearts." 😡
She turned slowly toward Eric.
Justin's eyes widened.
Justin (thinking):
(She knows this too… 😱)
Amber's voice softened, but carried an unshakable weight.
Amber:
"But no one knew… he was reborn.
Everything changed when the curse activated.
And then… the mother appeared."
She looked directly at Justin, her eyes piercing. 😎
Amber:
"Am I right, my son?"
Justin nodded repeatedly, eyes wide. 😱
Amber's lips curled into a subtle, dangerous smile.
Amber:
"Your mother is not someone you can fool, dear.
No one calls her the 'Curse Queen of the William House' without reason." 😎
Laurant stepped back, enraged, her face red with disbelief.
Laurant:
"Are you mad?
Why are you saying this to a child?!" 😡
Amber's gaze sharpened, a cold edge cutting through the tension.
Amber:
"Let me tell you something, Laurant…
Even after all the vile things you've done…
Do you really think I didn't notice?" 😏
The air grew thick.
Every breath in the room felt like it carried fire.
Justin clutched Jonathan's arm, trembling.
Eric's fists tightened, his jaw set.
Amber took one step closer to Laurant, voice low but deadly.
Amber:
"Everything you thought was hidden…
Everything you planned in the shadows…
I've seen it all." 😈
Her eyes met Justin's, softening for just a moment.
Amber:
"And my son… now knows the truth."
The room fell into silence, heavy with fear, awe, and anticipation.
Laurant's sneer faltered.
She realized, too late, that she had awakened a force far beyond her control.
