With the ritual finally complete, Riley felt a quiet sense of reassurance settle over him.
The information he'd gathered, the answers he'd sought — everything was in place.
Now he was certain.
There were no lingering demonic traces on Snow — not even the faintest hint of corruption.
The goddess's blessing had completely purified her.
With that divine protection wrapped around her soul, there was hardly anyone or anything left in existence capable of laying a curse on her again.
He'd suspected as much before.
Deep down, Riley already knew Asmodeus hadn't left any hidden curse or trap behind.
But even knowing that, he couldn't help but worry.
After all, the moment Snow woke up, something about her had felt… subtly different.
Not in a bad way, just enough to make him question it.
Now, though, seeing her smile, seeing her behave like the same bright and loving Snow he remembered — that quiet worry finally faded.
Yeah, he thought to himself, she's really back to normal.
