Chapter 6

Author: Cocojam
The name 'Moon Shard' echoed in Damien’s mind.

The unease grew, a suffocating feeling that some vital truth was clawing its way to the surface.

Why would Lilith give away something that could save her?

The question was too loud to ignore.

"Reconnect to the council," Damien said, his voice hoarse. "Get me the High Scribe."

Ethan and Julian stared at him.

"Brother, what more are you looking for?" Julian asked.

"I want the whole truth," Damien said, his eyes burning with a dangerous light. "About t

    "Why?" Julian's voice was a raw, unrecognizable hiss. "Why would you do it?"He lunged forward, his hands wrapping around Clara's throat."What did Lilith ever do to you?! She gave you the best room! She gave you our mother’s jewels! She treated you like a sister!"Clara choked, her face turning purple.But even in her terror, a twisted glee sparked in her eyes."Why?" she gasped, blood and saliva dribbling from her lips. "Because I was jealous! I was jealous that she had everything!""Immense power, a noble bloodline, and the unconditional love of all three of you!""And me?" Clara's laugh was a shrill, insane shriek. "I was just a pathetic human! Why was she born with everything, while I had to beg for your scraps like a dog?!""So I had to destroy her! I had to watch her lose everything! I had to make you kill her with your own hands!""You venomous bitch!" Julian's hands tightened.But Clara just cackled with triumph."Venomous?" She glared at my three brothers, her eyes filled wit

    Clara was pinned to the floor, her eyes wide with terror.But Damien didn’t kill her. Not yet.His eyes held something far worse—the promise of a slow, agonizing revenge."Bring me her things," Damien ordered coldly. "All of them."The servants moved instantly.Soon, Clara’s phone, laptop, diaries, and other personal items were piled in the hall."No… please… don’t look at those…" Clara struggled, but the servants held her fast.Damien picked up her phone and began scrolling through it in front of everyone.The screen lit up with photos and chat logs.The first photo was from three days ago. Clara, lying in bed, pale but with a triumphant smirk. She was making a 'V' for victory sign. The caption read: "My acting's pretty good, right? The three idiots totally fell for it lol."Ethan’s fists clenched so tight his nails broke the skin.Damien kept scrolling, each image a new, unbearable truth."Look how worried they are about me~" — A photo of a 'weak' Clara, with Ethan's anxious form blu

    A dead silence fell over the hall.The three brothers collapsed, utterly broken by the truth.Damien gripped his head, his body wracked with tremors.Ethan slumped against the wall, his eyes filled with despair.Julian fell to his knees, sobbing uncontrollably.They finally understood.The sister they had dismissed as "spoiled and difficult" was the one who had sacrificed her life to protect them.And they… they had personally pushed her over the edge."My lady…"Moses's trembling voice cut through the silence.The old butler stood in the doorway, holding a document, his eyes wet with tears."Sirs… there is something I must tell you…"Damien looked up numbly, his eyes vacant."What is it… Can anything be worse than this?"Moses approached and placed the file on the coffee table."This is last week's castle maintenance report… I was going to report it after the repairs were done, but now…"Damien mechanically picked up the document.It was a routine inspection report, with most items ma

"About the 'Moon Shard.' About why Lilith gave it up."The crystal lit up again, connecting to the council's inner sanctum."Lord Blackwood," a more authoritative voice said. "This is Silas, the High Scribe.""I need you to unseal all of Lilith Blackwood's records," Damien's tone left no room for argument. "Her power levels, item usage, and… her sacrifice records.""My lord, those are classified files…""I am the head of House Blackwood. Unseal them now!" Damien roared. "Or I will pull every last coin o

    The air in the great hall was suffocating.The guards returned one by one, each with the same report: nothing.Damien stood before the fireplace, his expression growing darker by the minute.He refused to admit the terrible seed of doubt that was beginning to sprout in his heart."Keep searching!" he roared. "Every corner of this castle! She has to be hiding somewhere!"But as time ticked by, a shared unease crept into all three of them.Ethan paced restlessly. Julian stood frozen, his eyes vacant.Clara sat on the sofa, feigning concern, but her eyes glittered with triumph."Maybe…" she began softly, "Lilith really did leave?""Impossible!" Damien shot back. "The blood curse covers the entire estate. She couldn't have escaped!"But his own voice held a tremor he couldn't hide.Suddenly, a glint appeared in Damien's eyes."I have a way to force her out."He strode to his desk and picked up a special communication crystal."If she's really alive, she'll need magical artifacts to sustain

  • My Brothers Chose My Killer Over Me   Chapter 4

    Moonlight spilled like liquid silver through the open doorway, flooding the observatory.The darkness vanished, and everything was laid bare.My soul trembled as I drifted closer, desperate to block my brothers' view.But I could do nothing.In the center of the floor was a small pile of fine, black ash.Next to it lay a blackened ring—my family signet, the one I never took off, with its ruby that marked the Blackwood bloodline.Julian saw it first.Julian was an architect. A thought struck him—the observatory's dome. Last week's maintenance report had mentioned something…But he crushed the thought as quickly as it came.Impossible.Absolutely impossible."Another one of Lilith's pranks," he said, his voice dry. He was the first to look away. "She’s always pulling these childish stunts for attention."Ethan stepped closer.The scorched smell was stronger here, tinged with something he knew but refused to name.The stench of death.He was a creature of the night. He knew that smell all
