Chapter 299 Burden Of Truth

• The chamber around them seemed to hum with the weight of the revelation. Ariella’s heart raced as the full scope of what she had uncovered began to sink in. The Heartstone was more than just a magical relic—it was a binding force that held the very fabric of Elandor together. To unlock its full potential, to restore balance to the kingdom, would mean confronting the deep, ancient secrets of the land.

The Heartstone was meant to maintain harmony between the land and the people. But when Isolde seized the throne and broke that pact... she shattered the kingdom’s balance. The Heartstone’s power has been dormant ever since, waiting for the right time to awaken.”
