Chapter 176 Finnian and Francis returned from their hunt with a wild rabbit , only to encounter Atlas and Sophia along the way .

Reluctantly , they turned back together .

As they arrived , the delicious smell of spicy food immediately filled the air .

They glanced toward the neighboring house and saw Freya grinding small chili peppers , Selah washing fish , Stellan tending the fire , and Odalys cooking .

The table was piled high with dishes ; fish head stew , spicy fish fillets , pickled peppers , steamed mushroom soup everything looked mouth- watering , a feast for both the eyes and the nose .

Time to eat , Stellan called as he brought out bowls .

Everyone sat at the stone table , trying to shield themselves from the scorching afternoon sun by sipping on hot soup .

But as they are , they couldnt help but notice the others still standing outside , staring at them : Selah raised an eyebrow and asked , Arent you going to cook ? With all that food , do you think youll finish it! Atlas asked , a hint of sarcasm in his voice .

Freya smirked , chewing on a piece of fish head as she retorted , If we cant finish , well just heat it up later .

Are you really so squeamish about leftovers ! Her tone was teasing , but it also made a clear jab at Atlas and Sophiss inability to cook .

After all , were not into dieting here , she continued , glancing at Sophia , but it looks like Sophias lost quite a bit of weight .

Sophia ? Sophias stomach growled loudly in response , and she forced a smile .

She realized she had indeed lost weight , and the hunger pangs were starting to get unbearable , The feeling of starving and thinning out was not pleasant at all .

She quickly turned her face away .

We should go make something ourselves , Sophia suggested , trying to avoid the uncomfortable conversation .

Atlas noticing that the others had no intention of inviting them to join , cast Odalys a resentful look before turning to help .

They had little skill in the kitchen , though Normally , their meals were prepared by their parents or assistants , and if they were out , theyd either have a manager take of it or order takeout Cooking from scratch was an entirely different challenge , and after hours of struggling , they only managed to make a few mediocre dishes .

They brought their creations to the table , but n mixed with frustration settled in the air .

no one was particularly excited about it .

Looking at the food the others we were enjoying , a sense of envy Im so full .

Ill probably have a little belly now ! Freya said , rubbing her stomach .

My managers going g to kill me .

Before she does , you should eat more ! Selah teased with a grin , thoroughly enjoying Freyas predicament .

Hur Odalys , who had been sitting silently until now , suddenly looked grim .

Her expression darkened , and the playful atmosphere quickly turned Odalys , whats wrong Freya asked , noticing the change in in her mood .

Cadalys gaze sharpened as she replied in a low voice .

Theres bloodshed in your future .

The air seemed to chill instantly .

Everyone fell silent , staring at Odalys , their eyes widening- What ! Me ? Freya asked , pointing to herself , a nervous laugh escaping her lips .

Selah , equally unsettled , Iraned forward and asked , What about me ? Do I have it too Odalys shook her head , her voice solemn Only Ferya .

This has nothing to do with you .

Freya , though frightened , stayed by Odalyss side , her fingers trembling as she softly asked , Odalys , am I g Selah , equally anxious , looked at Freya with wide eyes , clearly worried for her friend .

I going to die ? Odalys shook her head , but her eyes held a depth of concern .

She gemly poked Freya on the forehead , trying to calm her .

Its just a small misfortune , you wont lose your life over it Her words were reassuring , but the worry in her eyes e couldnt be hidden .

This bloodshed wasnt just a minor threat .

It was something serious .

Odalys reached out , took Freyas hand , and bit her own finger , drawing blood .

She wrote a character on Freyas palm , watching as it spread across her skin , then faded Remember , dont wash your hands today .

Dont let it come into contact with water , Odalys warned sternly .

Freya nodded quickly , clenching her fist tightly , determined not to let her guard down .

Selah rushed inside the house , returning quickly with a bandage to tend to Odalyss bleeding fingertip , applying it with The group sat in the courtyard , trying to stay calm under the intense midday sun , which was starting to feel oppressive .

But the shade from the trees was a welcome relief .

Dont worry too much .

Nothing serious will happen , Odalys tried to reassure them , though her own unease lingered in her eyes .

Freya forced a smile but seemed far from at ease .

She looked over at Odalys and said , How about we play some y some cards ! I could use a distraction Good thinking .

Odalys , I see you brought some cards ! Freya said as she got up and dashed inside to grab the deck Selah , sull seasy , watched Freya hurry inside .

Everyone sprang to their feet , rushing toward the source of the sound .

But the door to the room was locked , and no matter how hard Stellan pushed against it , it wouldnt budge .

It crashed open with a loud bang- Inside , they found Freya sitting on the floor , her forehead covered in blood .

Her face was pale , and she looked completely shaken .

But now , the window was wide open .
