His silver eyes flickered toward Augustin, who sat beside him, his posture relaxed and his gentle smile unwavering.

Adrian's lips pressed into a thin line as he tried to absorb the weight of everything that had happened. After a moment, he turned to Augustin, his voice trembling slightly. "How did you know where I was?"
