The guilt,Teri's mother felt

"When she saw that she had made her child into a ghostweaver, she knew that somewhere, a child, a youngster, or an adult would bring black magic again.

But she waved the thought away because a ghostweaver had been born in the Ereen family years ago, and no black magic had resurfaced.

Years passed, but the guilt of sacrificing another child's life for hers still tormented her. However, she never wanted to know if Varouge's child had survived or not.

Seeking solace, she remembered the consort child she had saved when she was fourteen. Determined, she traveled to the imperial palace in Alririt Kingdom.

By this time, she already had four children: three girls and one boy.

At the palace gate, she sent a message to the king. Invited inside, she met the king and learned that the consort had died years ago during her second childbirth.

Sadness overwhelmed her. She asked if she could see her sons, but the king disagreed and sent her away from the palace.
