"It's a curse from the Rotting Husband, isn't it?"
Annan asked softly.
At the same time, this was also a way of probing.
However, since they had just signed an alliance agreement, Maria didn't have much guard up against Annan for the time being... Moreover, with Annan currently being officially wanted by the Kingdom of Noah and the other three present being from Winter.
Her face clouded as she nodded in acknowledgment of Annan's guess, "Yes, it's indeed a targeted curse from the Rotting Husband."
"Didn't you have a substitute prepared?"
Annan was somewhat surprised.
"Of course we had, but for some reason, the curse bypassed it. I am fine, but the curse struck father, my elder brother, and Annan simultaneously.
"And my elder brother can forcibly absorb others' curses. He absorbed the curses of all three onto himself immediately..."
