The Real Heiress Rules the World (Sloane Rivers) novel Chapter 475

Bonfire 475 Summary

Stone, the head of Medicine Valley’s operations in Mirevia, has been entrusted by Sloane, the heir to Medicine Valley, to monitor and report any suspicious activities. Since Sloane cannot contact Medicine Valley directly, Stone acts as the intermediary. Upon receiving a message, Stone reveals that the situation is far more grave than expected, prompting him to meet with Sloane personally.

Stone explains that the issue involves a forbidden dark spell called “Soul Exchange,” outlawed over three centuries ago. This spell radically alters a person’s emotional memories, causing them to hate their former lover and obsess over the spellcaster. The ritual requires a mysterious artifact known as the “Emotional Lock Bell.” Lucas connects this to the unusual bracelets worn by Dania and sketches them for Stone, who suspects they might be the artifact in question but awaits confirmation.

Sloane is puzzled by the severity of the response, noting that her master has not left the Valley in over twenty years. Stone recounts the history of the Soul Guild, a sinister organization linked to seven extreme emotions and dark arts, which was eradicated and sealed away three centuries ago by Medicine Valley’s founder and six great families. The transference spell is only the mildest of these dark arts, with others causing far worse devastation, including the Thought Art that destroys souls through obsession.

Stone describes the terrifying past when the Soul Guild’s leader hypnotized an entire city into madness, leading to mass slaughter. He fears that if the transference spell is in use now, it means the Soul Guild has resurfaced and is plotting in secrecy. This revelation fills Sloane with dread but also steely resolve as she contemplates the threat of the forbidden Soul Guild’s return.

Chapter 475: The Forbidden Soul Guild

Stone held the position of head for Medicine Valley’s operations within Mirevia. Given that Sloane was the designated heir to Medicine Valley, it was his solemn responsibility to guarantee her protection at all costs.

Since Sloane was unable to reach Medicine Valley directly, she had entrusted Stone with the task of discreetly sending any suspicious developments back to the Valley through secretive channels.

Stone nodded calmly in acknowledgment. “The Valley Master has received your message and responded immediately. However, the situation is far more serious than we anticipated—that’s why I’ve come here in person to speak with you.”

Sloane’s brow furrowed deeply. “What did the Master say?”

Stone’s voice lowered instinctively as he replied, “The Valley Master believes that if this truly involves ‘Soul Exchange,’ then the danger is far beyond what we had imagined. This isn’t just some ordinary dark spell—it’s a forbidden art that was outlawed more than three centuries ago.”

Lucas leaned forward, curiosity piqued. “What exactly makes this spell so unique?”

Taking a slow, steady breath, Stone explained, “‘Soul Exchange’ completely rewrites a person’s emotional memories. It reshapes the victim’s soul so profoundly that they come to despise their former lover from the very core of their being—and instead, they become utterly obsessed with the one who cast the spell. The ritual itself requires a mysterious artifact known as the ‘Emotional Lock Bell.’”

Lucas’s mind immediately flashed to the bracelet he had noticed on Dania’s wrist earlier. Quickly grabbing a pen and a scrap of paper, he said, “Dania does wear a pair of bracelets that look quite unusual.”

With practiced ease, Lucas sketched the bracelets from memory, his photographic recall allowing him to replicate every strange symbol etched into them. When he finished, he handed the drawing to Stone.

Stone examined the design carefully, his brows knitting closer with each passing second.

“These patterns are definitely unsettling,” he admitted. “But we’ll need to wait for the Valley Master’s confirmation to be certain whether this is truly the Emotional Lock Bell.”

Sloane looked confused. “Senior, it’s just a transference spell. Why would the Master take it so seriously? For him to leave the Valley personally—that’s unprecedented.”

Her master had not stepped beyond the Valley’s borders in over two decades—not since the last time he had ventured out to save her life.

Conclusion

The weight of the forbidden knowledge and the resurgence of the Soul Guild casts a long shadow over Sloane and her allies, stirring a deep sense of urgency and unease. The revelation that the seemingly simple transference spell is but a fragment of a far darker and more dangerous legacy forces them to confront the chilling reality that ancient evils may be awakening once more. Amidst the storm outside, the emotional tempest within each character mirrors the gravity of the threat, binding them together in a fragile alliance forged by necessity and the hope of protecting what they hold dear.

Yet, beneath the fear and uncertainty lies a resolute determination, especially in Sloane’s heart, to face whatever horrors may come. The chapter closes on a poignant note of foreboding and resolve, reminding us that the past’s shadows often stretch long into the present, and that only through courage and unity can the looming darkness be challenged. As the rain falls and thunder rolls, the story’s emotional core beats steadily, promising that the journey ahead will test the strength of their souls and the bonds they cherish.
