When Queenie identally touched the Hexbloom, Felix had to treat her immediately, leaving her in nothing but underwear due to the unusual circumstances. In that vulnerable state, he could not help but notice every detail of her body including ces he should not have seen.


    On Queenie''s back, near her right shoulder, there was an intriguing tattoo that initially appeared to be a cobra''s head but also resembled a skull upon closer inspection. The design was particrly striking with its red-inked edges, and Felix could not help but recall seeing it somewhere before. "You''ve really seen it before?" Felix found himself in an unexpected situation and could only trust Billy''s judgment.


    "Yes, I have. What''s the connection?" Billy pondered for a moment before continuing, "It''s an ancient totem from Southern Xilona that somehow made its way into mainstream tattoo shops, and many customers choose it for themselves."


    Felix furrowed his brows. "Wouldn''t that mean many people would experience this situation?"


    There were millions of people with tattoos in Dragonia. While Felix was a powerful warrior who did not fear the consequences, he worried about ordinary people who might be affected.


    Billy rified, "Not at all! Only tattoos done by someone with Southern Xilona witch status have that power. Otherwise, it''s just a design. When a witch tattoos a woman with this design, the first man to see it bes bound to her, which exins your situation." This revtion meant that both the tattoo customers and Queenie were victims, as they could not have known their tattoo artist secretly held Southern Xilona witch status.


    "Will the effects spread?" Felix asked with concern.


    Billy nodded grimly. "While it won''t escte beyond these haunting voices, there''s something else to consider, Felix-it depends on your conscience.


    "The witchcraft follows karmic lines, so anyone connected to you through fate will experience simr effects. You might not care, but what about your family and friends?"


    Felix was amazed by this transmission effect, realizing there was still so much unknown in Dragonia. Billy''s ability to find Skybound Revenant, for instance, was something he had never heard of before.


    "How can we break this curse?" Felix asked, knowing he could handle it himself but worried about others getting involved.


    Billy exined, "It''s actually simple! You just need to be intimate with the woman, and everything will dissipate, including the tattoo on her body.


    "In Southern Xilona, they view love as sacred, and betraying it is considered unforgivable. You''ve probably heard simr stories about their love potions they''re quite skilled at those,


    too."


    Felix rolled his eyes, feeling like he was facing Sarah all over again-another situation requiring intimacy, which left him speechless. Yet, he knew about love potions and Southern Xilona''s unwavering dedication to love, which made everything make sense. "I understand. Thank you for your help," Felix replied, knowing the solution but unsure how to execute it.


    He could not imagine either confessing to Queenie or forcing himself on her-neither option seemed viable.

    The next morning, Jack and Vanessa arrived at the self-built house, with thetter busy in the kitchen. Melissa had alsoe along since they nned to return to Gray City after breakfast. "You look like you haven''t recovered from your hangover yet," Felix teased, causing Jack to give him a reproachful look.
