Chapter 443 Percival stood there , his gare dark as he stared out into the distance .
Last night , after we visited the Simpson family , you mentioned that their energy field was like a coffin , a trap , he began , his voice low and contemplative I couldnt stop thinking about the Simpson familys origins .
From the moment Edir targeted my father , drugged him , and then got pregnant , forcing a marriage into the Stewan family she had a plan .
Afterward , slie seemed to want to eliminate him … This means the Simpson family must have had a strategy against the Stewart family from the very beginning .
But Edie .
she hasnt been subtle at all Over the years , shes grown increasingly arrogant , almost like shes trying to flaunt her power to everyone .
Percival paused , eyes narrowing as he pieced together the pieces .
If she was truly gunning for the Stewart family , she should have stayed low until she had us under control .
But no , everything she does is flashy almost like shes trying to make sure the world knows exactly what shes been up Thats part of why Ive let her nun free Ive been watching her closely , trying to figure out what shes really after.
But every move she makes is about laying the groundwork for the Simpson family .
The thing is , they dont seem to accept her .
Every time she returns from the Simpson family , shes always … off And the Bennet family he continued , his brow furrowing in thought , theyve had no real dealings with her for years , and shes cut all ties with Hannah .
But Quinton on the other hand , has been sending out olive branches to the Bennett family He looked at Odalys , his expression darkening .
The Bennett family must have some connection to the Simpson family .
Its no coincidence that when the Bennen family faces a crisis , the Simpson family doesnt step in to help .
But Windsor ? He suddenly returns from abroad , and the moment he does , he gets involved with Sophia .
He breaks his vow , and its like everything turns to bad luck .
The more I think about it , the more something doesnt add up .
Windsors been gone for three years .
Theres no way hed come back and immediately fall into someone elses trap .
Youve mentioned somethings been off with Windsor too .
Percival went on , running a hand through his hair in frustration .
Last night , I dug through some old books from the Stewart ancestors .
Found some strange things .
Apart from soul switching and body swap rituals , theres another method shadow replacement He looked up at her , his eyes intense .
Its as if someone can be extracted from their body , and a shadow takes their place .
The shadow then becomes loyal to the one who controls it , doing whatever is asked of it .
Im not sure if Windsor is one of these shadow replacements , Percival continued , but the Simpson family is far too suspicious for me to ignore any longer .
Thats why I had to come here , to understand whats really going on Although his approach might not have been entirely correct , the principle remained the same .
Only by understanding the other partys background could one truly seize control of their fate Previously , I avoided touching the Simpson family because I didnt want to stir the hornets nest .
But after Windsors incident , Ive been trying to reach out to the Sumpion family .
Now that theyve been entangled and with Edies situation worsening , the Simpson family is bound to be in a panic Thats why I decided to come now , while theyre in disarray , Percival said .
the outcome .
He was miculous in his actions and never took a step without being confident in Odalys met his gaze , her lips curling into a faint smile .
It looks like you came here at the right time .
Weve found the place , so now things can moving The unspoken understanding between them was palpable .
There w was no need for more words ; they knew what they had to do .
If this really is the Simpson familys ancestral home , and theres negative energy here , it makes sense why Quinton never shows his face .
He cant be in the light Odalys said , her voice growing more confident .
She looked out across the land , her tone sharps , yet there was a touch of satisfaction in her eyes .
Maybe hes not even human .
Perhaps hes something else , something that doesnt die .
Whether the Simpson family wants to swallow the Stewart family whole , or if theres someone behind then pulling the strings , it doesnt matter now .
Now that we know where the Simpson villa is , we can exploit their weakness .
Her voice had a triumphant edge to it , and Percival couldnt help but feel a surge of excitement .
Her clarity of thought was infectious .
Do you know whats going on Percival asked .

The wind blew in from outside , lifting her ponytail , and she gazed up at the sky , her eyes seemingh filled with stars , shining brightly 111 tell you when we get back .
Odalys replied As soon as she finished speaking , she lifted her foot and gently stamped it down .
The small movement caused the surroundings to shake violently .
With a thunderous sound , the entire house collapsed Dust swirled into the air , and Odalys grabbed Percivals wrist , pilling him forward quickly : Run Percival , being pulled by her , hurriedly matched her pace and walked briskly towards the exit As they stepped outside , they heard another loud boom The house had fallen, leaving a massive hole in the ground , as though it were a bottomless pit Percivals heart skipped a beat .
Looking back at the spot , it seemed as if the house had never existed at all The world is shaped by the mind .
Your obsession is your father , so you saw him , Odalys said .
Hes been trapped here because he cares for you , but only when your heart is free of this obsession can he be released Percival , let go of your attachment .
Odalys said seriously , holding his hand .
To break the illusion , all it took was Percival letting go of his attachment Percival listened , his lips pressed tightly together .
He gripped her small hand in his , his large palm enveloping hers .
Just as his lips moved , ready to say okay the scene before them changed .
The ground that had been that moments ago now revealed a vast abyss , an eerie black chasm that looked even more ominous in the dark night .
What is this ? Odalys asked , her foot faltering as she was startled .
She quickly pulled her foot back , unable to imagine what might have happened if she had taken one step further .
Before she could recover , a bridge made of bamboo appeared and stretched across the abyss .
The wind blew , causing the bridge to sway precariously , Before she could grasp the situation , she saw a tall figure in the distance , wearing a brilliant red wedding gown , stepping forward as though drawn by something The figure slowly turned around .
A woman in a phoenix coronet and a red veil stood there , smiling sofily .
She raised her hand , and the bells on her fingers chimed their crisp sound rigging through the night air , The wind lifted the fine veil draped over her head , and her beautiful eyes , like stars in the night sky , gleamed with an expectant light .
Percival , take me with you , she said , her voice soft The gentle tone was filled with longing and desire as she continued to beckon him .
She took a few steps back and stood at the end of the bridge , her smile seemingly capable of melting the whole world .
Odalys watched in shock as the figure in the red gown , illuminated by moonlight , gazed at her .
The womans expression was full of longing and anticipation This how can this be me ? Odalyss voice was filled with disbelief .
She widened her eyes staring at the woman in the phoenix coroner , watching her gaze Percival , yet somehow it seemed as though she was looking past him , at someone else And the woman was calling out , Percival As she said , Percival , take me with you the strength with which Percival had been holding her hand loosened noticeably .
Odalys lowered her gaze , seeing Percivals hand slacken .
Her lips moved , as if about to speak , but no sound came out .
A sense of terror washed over her as she looked at Percival , trying desperately to make him ignore the illusion , but she was powerless to do 2/3
