Aria was stunned when Swan easily snapped the necklace.
She could feel the powerful dark aura around her body vanishing instantly, leaving her in a vulnerable state.
"G-give it back!" Aria cried out as she tried to snatch the emerald from Swan.
Saintess Swan checked the emerald for a second and grinned in amusement, "This is indeed, one of Harsetti’s pendants. She has seven of these, based on the seven deadly sins. Do you want to know what sin this emerald necklace represents?" Swan paused for a second and said, "Envy. You can draw great power from this necklace because you are envious of Swan. You envy her beauty, because you know you will never be as beautiful. That’s why you beat her up every day, starve her, and cut her hair short to make her look unattractive. You envy her beautiful and soothing voice. Lastly, you envy her for having a husband who is the most powerful and most loving."
"This necklace is incredibly powerful for a little witch like you. But in front of Goddess Asmara and her daughter, this is nothing but a child’s play. She should’ve given you a better item after you sacrificed so many innocent children," Saintess Swan commented sarcastically. She clenched the shining emerald pendant. It slowly crumbled to dust, as if it was made out of sand.
Aria stared at the emerald necklace blankly, as the key to defeat Swan turned into dust in front of her. She had never felt such despair before. She didn’t even despair when she received the news of her father’s death.
But now, she felt small, weak, and insignificant in front of the crippled bitch.
She looked at Swan in disbelief, and her face paled instantly as she realized she was no match against this ’Saintess’ in front of her.
Thus, Aria tried to find a way to save herself first. Since no attack was effective against Swan, it was better to expose her to Gale, so Gale would know that Swan was a dark witch who had been charming him with love spells the whole time.
It didn’t matter whether he believed it or not. As long as he had a seed of doubt in him, then everything would fall apart eventually.
Thus, Aria quickly canceled her spell, so anyone outside of the throne room could hear them. She took a deep breath and yelled as loud as possible, "HELP ME! QUEEN SWAN HAS GONE ROGUE! SHE IS HURTING ME! SHE IS A WITCH!!!!"
Aria smirked after she made sure that Gale heard her.
She waited for more than ten seconds, but there was no response from outside, which was impossible since she already made sure that she had lifted the deafening spell around the throne room.
