Chapter 62 : The Castle's Legacy

In Kaela's mind, a single thought looped quietly:

We're safe now.

The Oni — the one who had hunted her for her eyes — was dead. Slain by Dirga with terrifying ease.

But deep down, she knew better.

Hell doesn't let anything go.

If that creature wanted her God Eyes, others surely would too.

And for now… the safest place in Hell wasn't a fortress.

It was Dirga.

"I read about this castle once," Kaela said, her voice soft as her eyes scanned the towering, dust-choked ceilings. Her golden irises reflected flickers of dying candlelight, pulsing faintly like stars on the verge of collapse.

"The one hidden deep in the Dusk Forest."

Dirga's brows furrowed. "This place has a name?"

Kaela gave a small nod. "They call it the Castle in the Dusk."

Dirga exhaled slowly.

Figures.
