One day before the duel.
"Have you found who sent the curse back to you?" Jane asked.
Sarah nods her head, "Yes, I found who it is. But it's useless even if I want to fight back. She's too strong."
"Who did it?"
"Someone they called Vivian Nimue," Sarah said.
"No wonder, you're not her match. She's the first bloodcraft user. It doesn't matter, I don't need you to send curses to other Noctacian. I only need you to send the curse tomorrow when I fight with the leader. Send a lethal curse to her. Can you do that?" Jane asked.
"Yes, ma'am. I won't disappoint you."
On Raven's side.
Raven is training for her duel, she never underestimates her enemy even if it's her cousin. She let out a deep breath, sweats rolled on her skin. Raven debates for a moment whether she has to go with the will to kill or not. But she decides just to think about it tomorrow after fighting Jane.
"I wonder what trick she has now," Raven mumbled.
