Ch. 181: A Farewell [3]

After the afternoon tea concluded, and with the knowledge that Adrian was confined to his chamber, the group bid him farewell as they would depart to return to their respective kingdoms the following morning. When his friends were preparing to leave, Adrian requested Sylvina to stay back for a moment as he had something important to discuss with her. 

Sitting side by side in a cozy corner of the room, Adrian fixed his gaze on Sylvina's coral-pink eyes and began. "Vivi, I'll get straight to the point. Do you still remember what I told you about the Blood-Controlling Oath?" 

Focusing her attention on the boy in front of him, Sylvina nodded, "Yes, I do." Then she recited it, "We must assess our intentions and motivations. Are we seeking revenge, or are we genuinely acting in the interest of preserving harmony and protecting others? We must be honest with ourselves and ensure that the greater good drives our actions."
