Semua Bab The Devil's Bride : Bab 201 - Bab 210

The words escaped Azzura's lips almost as a whisper, yet the disbelief behind them echoed louder than any shout."You mean Father and Mother kept all these hidden for so long?"Her expression, usually unreadable cracked beneath the crushing weight of astonishment, surprise flooded every corner of her face, stealing away the calm composure that had become part of her identity. Azzura's wide eyes wandered endlessly through the enormous underground world before her, unable to settle on one place because every direction her gaze settled revealed another impossible marvel.The underground empire stretched farther than she could see with massive stone pillars carved with intricate symbols that rose from the polished ground like ancient guardians holding the entire cavern upon their shoulders. Pathways branched into countless directions, each illuminated by rows of glowing crystals embedded within the walls. The soft golden light they emitted painted the enormous tunnels with a warm brillia

Some depicted mountains and others showed rivers, forests, and ancient cities she had never seen before, the craftsmanship was breathtaking. Whoever designed this place had poured not only immense resources into its construction but also their very soul.Just then—"Wait..."Her sudden voice echoed softly through the corridor, Alendria immediately stopped walking, he turned around and looked at her with mild concern."What's wrong Azzura, are you alright?" Alendria called out, but Azura remained silent for several seconds, her brows knitted together as though trying desperately to solve an impossible puzzle.Finally, she lifted her head."I am fine..."She hesitated."Yes... I am."Then she stared directly into Alendria's eyes."But something doesn't make sense."Alendria raised an eyebrow “what is it?" He asked, curious as to why Azzura said such words in the first place."How did you know about this place?" Her question came out far more seriously than he had expected "I've always k

She took another step closer. "Unless..." Azzura continued speaking, her frustration gradually building as one complaint followed another, but unfortunately for her… Alendria had already stopped listening.Without interrupting her verbally, he simply reached forward as his fingers wrapped gently around the bronze handle, with a smooth motion...he pushed the door open.The instant the seal broke—a brilliant flood of light burst from within the chamber, It poured into the corridor like liquid sunlight, swallowing everything before it.Azzura instinctively gasped."Woah..."The single word escaped her lips before she could stop herself because the radiance was so intense that she immediately threw both hands over her face.Her eyes squeezed shut for several moments, she could see nothing but brilliant white and even through her closed eyelids, the light seemed almost alive.But then, slowly...very slowly the brightness softened. Azzura cautiously lowered her hands, she blinked several ti

The blueprint hovered silently above the obsidian table, its countless glowing pathways weaving together into what should have been a complete representation of the underground realm. Yet, the longer Azzura studied it, the more unsettled she became.Something was wrong but she could not explain it with certainty, she could not point to a single line or a single corridor and declare that it had been drawn incorrectly.Instead, it was a feeling, but a persistent instinct that refused to leave her mind."The blueprint..." she whispered quietly to herself, her eyes fixed upon the floating hologram. "...as vast as it is, it feels incomplete."She slowly leaned forward, narrowing her eyes as though the answer might reveal itself if only she looked closely enough."It is almost like there is another layer hidden just beyond my reach” this time her breathing became slower as every ounce of her concentration settled upon the glowing structure before her.Without realizing it, she bent lower ov

The craftsmanship was so extraordinary that the creature almost appeared alive, its enormous eyes seemed to stare directly into anyone foolish enough to meet its gaze.For one unsettling moment Azzura genuinely felt as though the monster were looking straight into her soul, she instinctively swallowed as the overwhelming presence radiating from the illustration alone made it difficult to look away.Alendria quietly admired the ancient carving before speaking once more "It is known as the Kraken." His voice carried unmistakable respect, “it is an ancient sea monster whose legend stretches back beyond recorded history."He slowly traced part of the carving with his finger. "For countless generations..this creature served as the official insignia of the Sil Clan.""The Kraken represented power, it represented endurance, not just that… it represented the ability to survive beneath overwhelming pressure while striking with unstoppable force, it reminded every member of the family that true
