Bloodline

"Ross had bloodline connected to witches as well as he had its knowledge. She wanted to use him for killing Lady Gwen as well as her son and bind Late king Eric's fate to hers so she can be the one to give him an heir as well as be his lover. But once again her plan failed, and all the credit goes to Lady Gwen"

Vladis could sense the hostility inside the room. He was aware Arthur didn't like to touch the topic, but it wasn't intentional. The conversation was just sailing with its own wind.

"What did Lady Gwen do? As we all know she died, so …?"

"What are you implying?"

"Being Ross's friend, I knew one or two things about witchcraft. The day he performed the ceremony, he told Vladella that the ceremony needs a sacrifice, an undying love had to be sacrificed to twist the fate of lovers"

"Don't tell me…" Vladis choked. However, tears escaped from Norman's eyes.

"Yes, he did. Ross sacrificed his life, his undying love for Vladella"
