The seer frowned, but this forbidden ritual could not be stopped halfway. If he did, death would claim everyone in that moment. He was unwilling to die while performing this ritual. Although he still could not clearly see the face of the woman on the table, he had no choice but to continue the ritual.
"The lady is willing to lose her life to save the King," the seer declared.
"I, Elfrida Ashcombe, am willing to lose my life to save the King," the woman repeated.
"The lady is willing to use her blood to pay the debt of the King," the seer continued.
"I, Elfrida Ashcombe, am willing to use my blood to pay the King's debt," she repeated.
"The lady gives her fortune to her husband in life or death," the seer said.
"I, Elfrida Ashcombe, give my fortune to my husband in life or death," she said, no longer appearing afraid.
