Lorelei''s excited voice rang out, awakening Nn from his stupor.


    She held arge book in her hands and walked toward him, grabbing his hand and pulling him away from the shelves.


    The book Nn was reading fell to the ground.


    "Here it is. The book about my curse..." Lorelei said as they arrived under a wide reading table with a chandelier right above, making the ce very bright.


    Immediately, Lorelei opened the book and began skimming through the pages, with Nn viewing the notes with interest.


    ording to what he could glean, Lorelei''s curse was known as "Silent Existence," and it wasn''t something rtively unknown in Antis.


    The book mentioned that every generation of Antis would always have someone who bore this curse, and in this generation, it was Lorelei who was cursed.


    Unknown to Nn, the discovery that Lorelei possessed the curse had sent tidal waves through the entire Antis kingdom on the day it was discovered.


    In the past, those who bore the curse were usually unimportant figures to the kingdom, and the kingdom paid little attention to it.


    But Lorelei was no unimportant figure in Antis.


    She was the daughter of the mighty King Sammodra of Antis, a figure who held prominent power.


    But then she was cursed.


    It had sent an uproar everywhere, and eventually, the princess had been forgotten by most, her mention invoking not the respect she deserved but pity from the people.


    As Lorelei turned the page, Nn nced at her from the corner of his eye.


    While he expected to see an embarrassed or angered expression from what was written in the book, all he saw was a smile of positivity on her face.


    ''How can she remain so positive when she is unfairly afflicted with such a thing? She doesn''t seem to be bothered by the various words in the books at all,'' Nn mused to himself.


    The book didn''t just talk about the curse; it also hypothesized why the curse existed.


    One of the most prominent hypotheses was that whoever bore the curse was an unlucky figure who would bring nothing but death and chaos to the realm of Antis.


    It was said that the great god of Antis, Poseidon, had sent forth the curse to punish the person.


    The entire world of Antis was rife with such theories, and anyone who bore the curse for a generation was haunted and mocked by the people.


    That was until Lorelei possessed the curse.


    How could the princess of King Sammodra be the one to bring death and chaos to Antis? It just seemed like a ridiculous hypothesis.


    Still, such ideas were nheless haunting, and there were no doubt people who believed that she really might be a figure of misfortune to the realm.


    But as Nn stood before her now, he didn''t think such a hypothesis was true. How could a person like her bring death and chaos to her kingdom?


    "Here it is. The cure to the curse..." Lorelei called out as she turned to look at Nn, who had his eyebrows furrowed at the page where the cure to the curse was written.


    Just as with the ce where the hypotheses for the reasons for the curse were written, there were also countless other hypotheses for how the curse could be broken, and to Nn, they were just nonsensical.


    The majority of the ways mentioned were nothing more than hate-filled theories, such as the person who bore the curse must sacrifice their own life or the life of their entire family so that the god of Antis, Poseidon, may be appeased and thus the curse will end with whoever possesses the curse.


    Some simply wrote that there was no curse unless the person who possessed it waspletely banished from Antis, and maybe then the god Poseidon would be willing to forgive them.


    "These are just nonsense..." Nn called out to Lorelei, who smiled before she turned to the next page.


    Written on the page were wellposed and simple words.


    It stated:


    "The curse can only be broken by an anomaly, someone unlike others, who is resistant to the curse''s effects."


    "Only they can break the curse, but such a person would be as rare as Antis ever returning to its former glory.


    "But if this person is found and they break the curse, then not only will the curse be history from that day on, but it will also mark the end of Antis''s fall!"— by the Fourth King of Fallen Antis. thank-you-for-using-NovelBin


    "This is the answer that was written by my great, great, great grandfather."


    "ording to the records about him, he wasmonly referred to by the people of Antis as the Mad King, and the majority of his ideas were never epted and most of the time treated as nothing more than fables and myths."


    "He was also the youngest Antis king to ever reign, dying at the age of 20," Lorelei exined to Nn about the one who had written the words, and Nn''s eyebrows furrowed.


    "Has there ever been anyone like me, who is resistant to the curse, before?" Nn asked, and Lorelei shook her head.


    "None has ever been resistant to the curse throughout the generations of Antis, and everyone in Antis would argue that there will never be such a person."


    "ording to what the Fourth King of Antis said, finding that person would be as rare as Antis returning to its former glory."


    "That is simply impossible..." she said with a small smile before she regained her seriousness.


    "But here you are, standing before me. Able to listen to every word that I say, and capable of tracking my y down from a distance of hundreds of miles."


    "None like you has ever existed since the fall of Antis. None."


    "And if there''s anyone who can help me out and break this curse," Lorelei said, as confusion set in for Nn.


    "But... I don''t know how to break the curse."


    [I do!]
