Raven Of The Inner Palace Ending 소설 & 이야기

His other hand pressed my arms harshly, and I feared he might crush my bones. I should beg for my life. Say anything. Tell them I'm not from this family. But I couldn't speak. Cold sweat filled my palms. Dripping from my forehead. My fingers were trembling. Arden remained calm—too calm. “Kill her then.” The words detonated like a bomb in my chest. “Arden!” Mr. Revanchi called. What? Kill her?

I merely gave a short nod, letting the silence answer for me. ​Raven emerged from the stables, leading the five swiftest horses in the castle. "Everything is ready, Sire. I have prepared an official excuse for the council—that you are both performing a private purification ritual at the mountain temple." ​"Will they believe it?" I asked. ​"They have no choice but to believe it," Raven answered flatly. "I have also placed two of my most trusted knights to watch the gates. If anything suspicious arises, they will send a messenger bird."

The change is so sudden that people start looking around, whispering, realizing something isn’t right. “What… is happening?” Florence asks. The windows explode—which by now we really should stop replacing them—ravens fly in, swarming the ballroom. People rush toward the exits, but the great doors slam open and ravens surge inside. Another storm of black wings fills the doorway, and from their midst the Raven Wolf King steps forward. The sight chills us all. It feels like watching a demon rise straight out of hell. As the ravens scatter, Grimm appears behind the Dark King, flanked by a multitude of their men.

Nikolai leaned back, his eyes briefly—very briefly—moving to Thalia. “It means I won’t let her erase you.” Thalia’s fingers tightened. “I’ll call you again,” he said. “Please don’t do anything yet.” The call ended. Thalia stepped out of the car without looking at him. The Ravenhart estate felt colder at night. The halls were quiet. Too quiet. Portraits of old Ravenharts lined the walls—men who looked powerful even in paint. Men who had crushed enemies and built empires. Thalia felt their eyes on her.

And as I watched Logan leave, I completely forgot about the birds. Later, when the training field emptied and the air smelled faintly of rain, I found Raven in the balcony. She was still holding the book,one hand resting on her belly, as she stared down at it. “What is that?” “An old spell book,” she simply answered. “Don't worry, I'm not going to use any, yet.” My brow rose. “Yet?” She shrugged, “I might need to, eventually. And I will if I absolutely have to.”

Together, they descended upon their target, their eyes locked onto the building ahead, where the intense sounds of chaos and destruction reverberated inside like the depths of World War Four. They knew it was Raven! Fighting her way through the enemy to reach her children. The building was being torn apart from within, and then it crumbled, imploding in a cloud of dust and debris. That's when they saw her - Raven's massive form took flight, her size awe-inspiring, almost twice that of Niklaus. Her eyes blazed like flames of fire, her fury and power radiating like an unstoppable Titan. She soared past them, her wings beating the air with a deafening roar. Niklaus's heart skipped a beat as he

She cleared her throat before she spoke. “Listen, Warrior Witches has infiltrated our territory, okay? The bombing and explosions are just a stint to drive away the Warrior Witches so we could escape and evacuate. Lane and his team will arrive but I need you to calm down first, okay?” “They’re coming? Lane?” She nodded slowly. “Yes.” Relief invaded my system. Amara guided me to the cabin. I slumped my body on one of the beds. Even after drinking Amara’s blood, the energy it fueled my body only lasted for minutes. Now, I feel my body weakening and aching again.

"So unfair. Why didn't he marry within the pack?" "Her dress is really lovely". "Look at that neckline. How risque". It takes a lot of effort to shut down all the voices but I finally do, especially when the chief officiator joins in with us on the stage. He looks upon us proudly, offers a warm smile and begins the ceremony. With each passing minute, I'm filled with dread about all of this. I'm about to make the contract official in every way. Draaven's face is empty, and if he feels ecstatic that he finally got his wishes, he doesn't show it. I repeat my vows mechanically and when the moonstone is brought forward, I nearly take a step back in terror. The officiator slices lightly into Draav

This was close to sending me over the edge and I had to leave the interrogations to Arden after a while, having unintentionally killed two servants who had said the same thing. Arden and I were now leaving the Palace Prison after speaking to the last of the maids that had received payment or a reward of some kind. We were both quiet as we crossed the Palace grounds, each in our own thoughts as we tried to figure out what to do next. A sudden presence began to grow behind us and I turned rapidly, nearly drawing my sword as a sleek black raven weakly flapped towards us. Arden gasped as he looked at it, seeming to recognize who it was before the tired looking bird collapsed onto the ground, Shi

I kissed each of their foreheads, breathing in their scent one last time. “Mama loves you,” I whispered. Sophia and Eden worked in the corners of the room with Raven. Raven carved and plastered the most powerful protection spells she knew. Symbols glowed on the walls. “This ward will hold,” Sophia said. “Even if Gina herself walks through the palace.” Raven's hands trembled slightly. “But we must stop her before she tries.” I looked one last time at my children and turned away. We had a war to end. And it started now.
