In this chapter, kindly read carefully that what will happen to Theron if he accepts the curse. That way you will know why Esther couldn't let him accept it and took a decision on her own.
------
What happens when the summoner doesn't wish to accept the Devil's demand?
The young man's heart was furiously pounding as he read the nearly faded words written on the paper yellowed with age.
[Only when the person who had summoned the Devil surrendered himself to the curse will it be lifted from its previous carrier. Be warned, however, accepting to bear the curse does not eliminate it but merely transfers it to the summoner.]
At first, he was worried that it would take him a long time to search for the answer he needed. Upon seeing the contents of the book however, King Theron lost some of the tension on his stiff shoulders and the breath he didn't know he was holding was released.
'There is truly another way…I don't have to sacrifice Esther…'
