Outcast: The Alpha King's Beloved novel Chapter 192

Jennifer's POV: 

Seeing Austin being taken away, I finally heaved a sigh of relief.

We won.

We finally won! Now that Austin no longer held any power, Anthony didn't need to worry that Austin would kill him.

I held Elizabeth's hand tightly and looked at Anthony with mixed feelings.

But just as soon as I started to relax, Austin struggled hard to turn around and burst into crazed laughter.

"Anthony! There is no antidote to the Love Curse! Even though I've failed, you won't be able to live a good life.You will always bear the piercing pain until you die!"

He spoke loudly, as though he wanted me to overhear him.

Despite trying my best to look calm, I knew my expression must've given myself away.As much as I hated to admit it, Austin was right.Anthony was still bound by the Love Curse.

My future with Anthony was still uncertain.We exchanged glances, uncertain as to what to do.But I didn't dare to disturb him.

Anthony was busy ordering his attendants to clean up the aftermath of the battle.Anthony was born to be a king.I just knew he would be an outstanding leader.

Seeing him now made me so proud.

"Mr.Jones, the country needs a king.Please take over the throne!"

At this moment, an elder who had once supported Austin stood out and bowed respectfully to Anthony.

This took me by surprise, but I couldn't help but feel happy.

Anthony's actions to overthrow Austin obviously won the support of the public.

"I also believe that you should take over the throne, Mr.Jones! You will definitely be a worthy king."

Some elders echoed in agreement.

For a moment, Anthony was surrounded by supportive followers.

They cheered for him, as though Anthony had already ascended to the throne.

"Please rest assured, everyone, that I will do everything in my power to protect the country and its people.This is what my father would have wanted."

Despite the crowd's overwhelming support, Anthony remained calm and didn't show a trace of complacency.

"But before that—"

"Mr.Jones, I have a question."

An elder with grey hair suddenly stepped out of the crowd and interrupted Anthony.

I remember that he was one of the two elders who had raised their hands to support Austin just now.

"Please go ahead, Elder Eric," Anthony replied calmly.

"Mr.Jones, please excuse my bluntness, but what exactly is this Love Curse?" Eric glared at Anthony with unfriendly eyes.

As expected, Austin's followers were relentless.

But even I shared the same sentiments, as I was worried about the curse too.

I looked at Anthony nervously, not knowing how he would respond.

"I've heard of the Love Curse.It is ancient and was almost lost over time.Those who are cursed by it cannot have feelings for the ones they love, or they would experience a piercing pain in their chest.The worst case scenario is death from heartache."

An elder with a walking stick approached Anthony, shaking his head.

"How do you know this curse, Primo?" another elder asked.

"My grandfather was once cursed by it, and he died because of it in the end," Primo replied gloomily.

The crowd sighed and then looked to Anthony for answers.

"Mr.Jones, is this true? Have you really been cursed by Love Curse?"

"Yes.Austin and Caroline, together with the grand wizard Larry, cursed me,"

Anthony admitted frankly under the crowd's expectant gaze.

"But I'm looking for a wizard to remove the curse.There must be a solution."
