Chapter 116 : The Dagger of Mercy

Luckily, nothing else happened. However, we could also tell from the noises that Sebastian and his troop hadn’t moved much either. We waited a little longer before we started peeking out again.

The dagger swung against Sebastian’s leg, tied to his belt loop. Almost instantly, I knew it would fit in the sheath of the artifact.

“That’s the last piece of the Blade of Souls,” I whispered. “I thought the king had it… Isn’t that why you stole the two parts from me so the king would have the completed artifact?”

Eros rolled his eyes at my comment. “The king did have it, but obviously, he lost it again”

Sebastian got the dagger, what would he want next? Obtain the other two parts and switch bodies again!

“What can the dagger do? I mean, I thought all the artifact pieces had to be together to work, but do you think it is the reason Sebastian is able to control all those…those things?” Eros’ question pulled me out of my thoughts.

Helen’s eyes snapped open. Her voice croaked and what came out first was just a rasp.

I reached out and touched her comfortingly.

“It’s okay. You don’t have to talk.”

“The Dagger of Mercy… It was a weapon of mercy from The Goddess because it doesn’t kill the person that gets stabbed in the heart with it…”

“Then it is rightly named, for it truly is merciful,” I whispered.

“Is it?” Helen sighed, “It doesn’t kill their body but it takes the soul of the person. Their body becomes an empty vessel, alive but thoughtless. With the right spells, they could easily be controlled and moldable.”

“So… all those people…” My skin felt clammy suddenly. “All those people out there were made into mindless… slaves by Sebastian?”

“Holy s**t!” Eros muttered, shaking his head. “If that was me… I’d rather die than be made into a puppet!”

I peeked around the rock again to look at Sebastian’s groups. He’s literally made a mindless army to obey his every command! And they would die for him without question and he’d never care about the ones he lost.

Finally, they started to slowly move into the narrow pathway we had just come from. Sebastian seemed to know this place well. After all, he used to be the rightful owner of the royal palace.

Then one of the warriors in the puppet army caught my attention and I almost gasped.

He was further away from Sebastian, trailing towards the end of the group. His build and height were similar to Soren’s but his face was hidden in a hoodie.

No. I shook my head. That guy couldn’t have been Soren.

Sebastian never would have gotten close enough to Soren to turn him into a puppet. He’d never overpower him either.

Suddenly, a sweeping longing washed over me. I must be missing Soren so much that anyone who looked slightly similar reminded me of him. How I wish I could see him right this moment!

Now that I had Helen, whatever Sebastian and Dylan got into, it was their problem to sort out. I couldn’t care less. All I wanted was to get back to Pomeni and back to the man who had my heart. We could settle down and have our baby…
