“She’s legit,” Michael whispered to Graham. “She’s following something we can’t see.”
Yeah, that was evident.
She also knew that a witch put the curse on the castle and family. That wasn’t in the history books, and only in the journal letter that they’d found from Ceit.
As she stood at the top of the hill that led down to the lake, she pointed.
“The two men are down there. They are pointing at the lake. She’s in the lake.”
They weren’t surprised.
Just that day, they found the journal where Duncan owned that.
“Duncan killed her. She betrayed them. She let them into the castle to have her child become the heir.”
Yep.
She’d nailed that too.
Now they had confirmation on how Ceit died, and who was absolutely in the lake. She had just verified Duncan’s journal.
“Oh, no,” Sarah said.
They all moved closer, looking down at the lake and seeing nothing but the water.
“Duncan killed the child, too.”
Yeah, this psychic was good. There was no way she was faking it. No one would know that either.
Ian shared what they knew.
“You were right. She did betray Duncan by going to the church to turn him and his lover in, but she teamed up with them to try to convince them to annul the annulment of her marriage to him. I know. Ironic. It was for the inheritance.”
She nodded.
“He’s very angry, too. Duncan is there,” she said, pointing, and that’s when they saw the two of them by the trees not far away. “He said all of this nonsense because he lay with a man,” she began. “He is glad it’s more accepted now, and he wishes you well with your new marriage. He wishes he could have married his love.”
Well, she nailed that, too.
They let her talk.
“So he found out and punished her. He put her child as far from her as possible to make her suffer.”
Yeah, well, no shock there.
As she turned, she headed back toward the castle, and inside. Without a word from them, she headed down the hallway and deeper into the bowels of the castle to the storage area and the crypt.
That’s when she stopped.
“Oh, I can feel the curse here. Until the heir releases the curse, Duncan and his lover, Ciarán, won’t have peace. He’s saying that over and over again.”
Ian was curious.
“And how do we find the heir? They’ve been dead for a long time. Is there an heir?”
She glanced over.
“Yes, but you’ll have to find the bloodline and get them here. Only then, when it shows that the heir hasn’t been tormented by the curse, it will be broken, finally.”
