Sophia froze, her words choking down her throat when she saw Emilia standing by the door.
The world seemed to still in front of them and they both trembled.
"What did you say?" Emilia asked quietly as she found her voice.
Sophia turned, horror flooding her face.

Another arrow slammed toward Emilia immediately…

For a heartbeat, the room stilled and Catherine's heart stopped.
Sophia gasped, collapsing into Emilia's arms.
Emilia gripped her as she fell to the ground.
She coughed, blood staining her lips.
"Your mother… she is… the necklace…"
