Heiress Unmasked: Shaking the World With Geomancy novel Chapter 1910

The intricately patterned bell in Reuben's palm shook lightly. As if in response, an identical chime rang not far away.

An illusory image of the Soul Tree seemed to surface in Shannon's mind. It was covered in bells like the one she'd seen.

Among them, a newly formed bell gently swayed in unison with the one in Reuben's hands.

Shannon knew that was Hector's bell; Reuben had not lied.

But why? Hector was human.

When she awakened her demonic bloodline, she'd wondered if Hector might be the same. But his body and soul belonged to an ordinary human, unlike her.

She'd always healed unnaturally fast and remained unscathed even after getting hit by a car. She'd possessed spirit sight even before learning mystic arts.

She'd always believed these abilities were given to her by her demonic bloodline, but Hector had none of these. How could he not be a pure human?

"When your brother was born, your mother used a counterspell to forcibly seal the demonic bloodline within him. As a result, he grew up as an ordinary human. Even when his bloodline awakened, he's unable to harness its power."

Louise's languid voice carried the weight of clarity as if she'd seen through everything.

Her gaze shifted to Thalia, and she continued in her cool, melodious voice, "Everyone thought you left the clan and studied mystic arts at the mystic school to strengthen yourself. But in reality, your goal was to find a way to sever your bloodline's inheritance."
