To remove the crystal seals, Roxanna only had to say, "I release you."
With those simple words, the chains that had bound her husbands for an entire year finally disappeared.
Each time a seal was released, she gently rubbed their necks. Even though they could heal themselves again and again, the crystal seals had still left red marks on their skin. It would probably take about an hour before those marks faded completely.
It was clear just how tightly the seals had wrapped around their necks, especially Calen's.
He had been the one who rebelled the most at the beginning, so his seal had clamped down on him as if it wanted to choke him to death.
Roxanna couldn't help but cry a little. She couldn't understand how he had kept working, moving, and acting normal while his neck had been under that kind of pressure every single day.
