William knew he couldn't keep hiding the truth from Victoria any longer. It was time to share what he knew.
"Remember when I told you about the demon trapped in a noble's mansion?" he began.
"That mansion belongs to the Black Pine family. The demon contacted me and described some strange things he'd seen there—things that sounded a lot like what we just witnessed with this cult. I put two and two together and took a gamble."
Victoria nodded, her trust in William unwavering. Everything that had happened so far had proven that he was someone she could rely on.
"I see," she said. "That makes sense. But if what you're saying is true, then this cult is spread all over the continent? Who are they? How have I never heard of them before?"
"I don't know," William admitted. "That's what worries me."
