Semua Bab Academy Of Cursed Hearts : Bab 71 - Bab 80

Chapter Seventy-Two****Morwen’s steps echoed in her chamber like a trapped bird beating its wings against glass,endless movements that lead nowhere. I didn’t need to see her to know she was unraveling. " Why isn’t she angry? Why isn’t she broken? Why is she so… calm?" She kept asking herself these questions.That’s what terrified her most.Not even my return from the Hollow Path, but my calmness.It was this quiet girl walking back into the academy like she’d only stepped out for tea, not vanished into a place that unmade souls.She had expected me to come back screaming with vengeance burning in my eyes,with power flaring from my hands.She wanted chaos,she needed it because she could control chaos and not calmness.Calm meant I had seen something beyond fear.And that meant I was no longer playing her game,I was rewriting the rules.That evening, I walked into the dining hall with Jason and Kael.The moment we stepped through the archway, the hall became silent. Conversations died mi

Chapter Seventy-Four****The morning after the dining hall incidenceThere was total silence, even during the training.Students moved through the halls with lowered voices and darting eyes. Sentries stood at their posts a little straighter. Even the wind seemed to tread carefully across the spires.They were waiting for Morwen’s wrath to fall like thunder.And when it came, it didn’t come for me.It came for them for the boys, Kael and Jason.Lira stood at the training yard gate, her voice calm but firm. “Headmistress Morwen requests your presence in the High Chamber. Immediately.”Every head turned.Kael exhaled slowly. Jason clenched his jaw,but nodded.They didn’t look at me,because we already knew what this was.And I let them go.An hour later, they returned." What did she say?" I asked"Just two days of silent labor in the purification vaults."Jason answered,"scrubbing corrupted runes from ancient stones, under full ward surveillance." Kael added.“A joke,” Kael muttered as h

Chapter Seventy-SixThe morning after the duel, the academy was busy like nothing had happened yesterday.The morning training was very smooth because Morwen wasn't there, she should be recovering from yesterday;s shame.I was in my calm and quiet mood.I walked through the halls like any other student.Cloak over my shoulders, book in hand, s=and walked so unbothered. No one looked me in the eye. No one dared. They only stared at me as I passed.But I wasn’t proud, I was just watching and living my normal life.Now that Morwen has made her first move and failed, she's cooking something else. Because she’s desperate, and desperation is louder than rage.I went to the library just to calm my head, and to get my space for a while.For the quiet hum of ancient wards under the floor, the scent of ink and old parchment, the way the light fell in soft golden bars across the reading tables. This place had once been my refuge. Now it was my vantage point.I sat at my usual corner,the one near t

Chapter Seventy-Eight.****I knelt before the shattered seal, my fingers brushing the fractured stone.But no single reaction, and I was not even surprised.Because I already knew what this was.Another lie.Another trap.Another desperate attempt by Morwen to make me look like the threat,while she's gradually becoming the very chaos she claimed to protect us from.Lira watched me, under shallow suspicions, eyes moving between the ruin and my face. She wanted a response. A move, a denial,Something..just anything that would betray guilt.But I gave her nothing.Just calmness and silence.Just the quiet certainty that truth doesn’t need to scream to be heard.“Aria,” she said, voice low, “this is serious. By-passing seven layers of truth-gates isn’t just forbidden,it’s impossible without immense power. And the signature…”“Is mine,” I finished.She nodded. “Yes.”I stood up slowly. “Then let’s see it.”She paused a bit. “The scrying mirror in the High Chamber”“I don’t need it,” I sai

Chapter Eighty****I was sitting alone in the library.My fingers traced the edge of my book, but I wasn’t seeing the words. I was feeling the silence beneath the stone, the faint tremor that had sparked through the academy hours ago when Harry began his return.And now, all I could do was sit.Because no matter how far ahead I walked, some steps can’t be taken until the past arrived to meet them.I was lost in thought when the door opened.Jason and Kael entered, eyes scanning the room like they expected an ambush.They found me in my usual corner.“Are you okay?” Jason said, dropping into the seat in front of me.I didn’t look up. “I’m fine.”“No, you’re not,” Kael said, leaning forward. “You’ve been like this since yesterday. Distracted and Pale. You barely touched your food at dinner last night."“I just don’t feel cool,” I said softly. “Like something’s coming. But I can’t really explain what it is.”Jason frowned. “Is it Morwen? Did she try something again?”“I don’t know,” I
