Return of the Crowned Heiress novel Chapter 673

Another minute passed, then two. The sound of the bronze bell echoed faintly, sometimes near, sometimes far.

Felicia tried moving her hands and feet. Her fingers responded smoothly, and she felt none of the uncontrollable restraint she had experienced before.

She blinked in surprise.

Scarlet, standing nearby, watched nervously, ready to knock Felicia unconscious if she showed any signs of losing control.

But it seemed… unnecessary?

Felicia and Scarlet exchanged glances, their eyes filled with mutual confusion.

Imogen, however, remained completely in the dark. She glanced between the two of them, puzzled, until she couldn't hold back any longer and asked, "What's going on? Why did you tie Felicia up?"

Felicia tested her wrist movement and casually reassured Imogen, "It's nothing." Then, she turned to Scarlet. "I don't feel anything strange. Try untying me."

"Alright." Scarlet, who had been reluctant to tie her up in the first place, quickly untied the ropes. The sight of Felicia bound had made her uneasy, and now that Felicia showed no signs of being controlled, Scarlet's relief was palpable.

"Could it be that you're free from the control? Or maybe the robed figure got killed in the bombing, and the venomous creature is no longer working?" Scarlet speculated, a hint of optimism in her voice.

Felicia had considered the possibility, but something didn't add up. If the robed figure or the venomous creature had been neutralized, why was the sound of the bronze bell still lingering in her ears?

Something was off. She must've missed something, but she couldn't quite put her finger on it. For now, there was no time to dwell on it. Their top priority was to reach the robed figure's location.
