"Arioch won't have a good end. I am sure of it. But you won't see it happen." Alexandra said, wiping the corner of her eyes. "You'll hear about it though. I won't deny you that happiness. But you won't meet Arioch again."
Maximus pressed his lips. He could see that his wife is forbidding him from doing what he wanted to see all his life. It was hard for him to accept that.
"Promise me," Alexandra held out her hand. "Promise me that you won't meet Arioch again."
Alexandra wanted him to promise her and keep his promise. Because it is not something that she wants. It was the creator's order.
"Is it something that important to you?" Maximus asked. He couldn't understand why she is so adamant about this. The thought that she might still have a soft corner for Arioch in her heart did cross his mind.
«No! That cannot be it!»
