Do you even know the truth? That she was barren? And she grew so desperate for a family that she begged one of the most powerful witches in history for help. Her sister, Dahlia. Of course, Dahlia's price was high. She agreed to make our mother fertile, but in exchange, she sought the first-born as sacrifice. Having no other choice, our mother gave away our beloved Freya.
(not believing) Our sister died of plague.
Esther gave her away. Think about that. The pain, the grief?
If what you say is true, then death is far too delicate a fate for her.
She loves us more than you realize.
And is love the reason she wanted my child dead?
She was trying to protect you from Dahlia's curse!
(angrily shouting) What curse?!?
Dahlia demanded the first-born of every generation. Had your child lived, she would have paid the price! And, if anyone had tried to protect her, Dahlia would come and destroy us all.
