NO LIES
"So, in simpler words… you’re telling me that in order to claim the final fragment, I have no choice but to rely on the very same person who deceived me from the beginning?" Christian’s voice remained calm, but the sharp precision behind each word made the sacred chamber feel significantly colder, as his gaze shifted from Georgia to the council elders seated before him, unwilling to let emotion cloud the logic of what was now being demanded of him.Because no matter how personal this betrayal felt, he was still Christian Sargent, and he would not allow himself to be manipulated blindly.Georgia remained still where she stood, her posture graceful yet undeniably tense, because his words were not exaggerated.They were true, and that truth, more than accusation, carried the real weight.The elder seated at the center of the chamber folded his hands calmly before answering, his silver eyes holding the quiet wisdom of someone who had witnessed centuries of bloodline conflict."This is no
A CONDUIT?
"I'm talking to you only," Christian raised his voice slightly as he demanded Georgia once again, "If you’re not Luna… then how do you know everything that happened between me and her? How did you act just like Luna as if you know everything in between us?" Christian’s voice sounded loud though the pain beneath it felt infinitely heavier than anger ever could.His gaze remained fixed on Georgia’s tear-streaked face, searching not merely for answers now, but for understanding strong enough to carry the unbearable truth that had already shattered so much within him.Because betrayal alone would have been easier... Betrayal could have been hated.But this... This was grief.This was the slow, devastating realization that the person he had mourned as abandonment had, in truth, loved him until her very last breath.Georgia’s lips parted slightly, though no immediate answer came, because the weight of that question was not simple, nor was it something she alone could fully explain.Before
SHE SAVED ME
"What exactly happened to Luna?" Christian’s jaw tightened sharply as he demanded to know the truth about what happened to his best friend.The question came quieter, but far heavier.Georgia’s composure finally cracked. "She saved me...." Those three words shattered what little distance remained.Christian froze completely.Georgia’s tears did not fall, but the grief in her voice made them unnecessary."She pushed me out before the flames fully collapsed the structure," she said, her voice trembling now despite every effort to steady it. "She chose me… even when she was the one dying.... As an elder sister, even at that last moment, she did everything to protect me." The chamber itself seemed to grow colder... Christian’s fingers curled faintly at his sides.No one spoke.... No one dared either.Georgia swallowed painfully before forcing herself to continue."When I reached her…" she whispered, "she was already fading." Her voice broke. "But even then… even then…" For the first t
DID YOU REALLY DECEIVE ME?
"I told you she isn't an ordinary person," Ezra crossed his arms evaluating Luna who was called as Georgia, "you said you trust her, so I didn't try to mention it again... This girl and her vibes were never normal." "So, from the beginning…? This is nothing but a deception..." Christian’s voice remained calm, yet the quiet sharpness beneath it altered the sacred chamber’s atmosphere far more effectively than anger ever could, as his unwavering gaze stayed locked onto Luna’s familiar face, though for the first time, familiarity itself felt like an illusion he could no longer trust.The elegant silver-blue robes she wore, marked clearly with the spiritual insignia of House Eldewyn, only deepened the truth before him, because this was no misunderstanding, nor was it some coincidence cruelly arranged by fate.This was deception, carefully maintained, and painfully deliberate.... And somehow, that reality unsettled him more than open betrayal ever could.For several long moments, silence
GEORGIA?
"So… you’re finally ready to hear about the debt your mother left behind."The elder’s voice was calm, measured, and impossibly steady as it echoed softly through the grand inner chamber of House Eldewyn.A place far older than Christian had initially imagined, where towering shelves filled with ancient manuscripts stretched toward vaulted ceilings carved with spiritual sigils, while silver flames burned silently within suspended lanterns, casting an ethereal glow across polished stone floors engraved with blood-binding symbols."Woahhh!" Unintentionally the words came out of Christian, seeing Christian's expression, the elder said, "looking at you, it's reminding me when Mary was young, she is such a carefree girl."Christian smiled at him quietly, Ezra was calmly floating beside Christian. "Looks like he knew very well about Mary."Christian was calm but said nothing, he stood at the center of it all, his posture composed despite the storm quietly building within him, his gaze unwav
TO CLAIM WHAT WAS SEALED
"The moment we cross this boundary… things stop being simple."Ezra’s voice was quieter now, stripped of its earlier teasing as Christian slowed the car along the narrow, winding road that seemed less like a path meant for ordinary travel and more like an entrance deliberately hidden from the rest of the world, surrounded by towering ancient trees whose branches curved inward as though guarding whatever lay beyond.Christian’s gaze remained fixed ahead, and then, he saw it.Estate of Eldewyn.For a brief moment, even Christian who had already prepared himself mentally for what was to come fell silent.Because this was not merely an estate, it was something else entirely."I didn't expect anything less from such a historical family... But still, this is kinda overwhelming.""It'll be," Ezra said leisurely, "moreover, these people are the most cunning... They've always acted neutral to power while controlling everything behind the shadows." Massive stone structures rose elegantly beyon
