Soryntha stared at Nosphaleen's corpse for a long time. She couldn't believe that she had actually lucked into such a thing, but at the same time, she knew the sort of risk she had just taken. If she had told her mother in advance, she might not have taken the steps either.
The problem with what she had done was obvious. Nosphaleen was now an official member of the Petals of the Seeing Thorn.
Killing any random member was fine. Killing a member that had the mark of a True Chosen on them was a different matter entirely.
Technically speaking, both were issues. It was against the rules to do such a thing no matter what, and it could especially put her mother in a poor position, considering the fact she was the current head.
But it was a risk that Soryntha had to take no matter what.
At first, she hadn't even trusted her own senses. But as she began to put things together, it was like she could see a light at the end of the tunnel.
Soryntha took a deep breath.
