Eager to move forward, I fixed my gaze on Nora, who was visibly bruised, and asked pointedly, Was it really worth sacrificing your life to frame and seek revenge against the clan leader, or the entire witch clan?
Nora, struggling, looked up but remained silent.
I pressed on, Didnt your parents urge you to live well before they passed? They sacrificed their lives for yours. It would break their hearts to see you throw yours away so young.
My blunt words shocked Nora. For a moment, she was so taken aback that her usual veneer of viciousness and resolve slipped, revealing her true feelings.

Catching the fleeting look of vengeful satisfaction in her eyes, I scoffed and turned to Andrew. You should handle Nora according to your witch clans laws.
Calebs POV:
After my statement, I turned to leave.
But as I did, Nora lunged towards the cell door, grasping my sleeve and shouting hysterically. Stop, you cant leave!
I spun around, my expression one of contempt, and demanded coldly, Let go!
Nora, her body marred by whip marks and her arms bloodstained and trembling, clung to my clothes desperately.
With no hesitation, I drew a sharp dagger, aiming to cut her hand away.

.
Yet, Noras eyes blazed with resolve, maintaining her grip fearlessly.
Why? Why wont you believe me? she yelled, her voice thick with anguish. Why do you insist that my actions were merely out of vengeance against the leader and the witch clan? Why?
I smirked disdainfully. There are no reasons. I keep personal and public interests separate. Anyone who harms my child will face consequences. Your leader and Shirley are irrelevant to me. I dont meddle in others affairs. But dragging Debra and me into a feud with the entire witch clan? Isnt that going too far?
Noras face froze, her expression blank with shock, seemingly not expecting her plan to be so transparent to me.
Her denial was palpable as she shook her head, tears streaming down her face. Its impossible. I accounted for everything. Why isnt it turning out as I planned?
I regarded her with icy disdain.
Still frantic, Nora continued, This cant be happening. You and Debra were supposed to turn against our leader. The Thorn Edge Pack was meant to declare war on the witch clan!
Do you think everyone is as foolish as you? I retorted coldly.
You should never have involved my family. You provoked me, so you should have anticipated this outcome. With that, I forcefully pushed her away.
Nora collapsed to the floor, blood filling her mouth, as she whispered impossible repeatedly to herself.
Andrew was stunned by the revelation of Noras scheme.
He had never imagined that a seemingly insignificant maid Like Nora harbored such deep-seated ambitions and resentment, enough to attempt dragging the entire witch clan into chaos with her limited power. Her actions struck him as both vicious and deranged.
Confounded, Andrew frowned and confronted Nora. Werent you thankful to Debra? And didnt you care deeply for Abby? How come you suddenly changed? You even drugged a mere infant to ensnare our leader. Have you lost your mind?
