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
I EXPECTED THAT
"Surprise."The word came out of nowhere, casual and completely out of place, making Christian’s grip tighten instantly around the steering wheel as his eyes flicked sideways.The car maintaining its steady speed while the road stretched endlessly ahead under the dimming sky.Ezra sat in the passenger seat, as if he had always been there, unbothered, and relaxed.Watching him.Christian let out a slow breath, not startled, not anymore, just… mildly irritated."You really need to stop doing that, Ezra," he said, his tone flat. "One day I might actually crash because of you."Ezra leaned back slightly, as if considering that."You won’t," he replied. "You’re too controlled for that... And I believe in you." Christian didn’t respond to that, his gaze returning to the road as silence settled between them for a brief moment before Ezra spoke again, this time without the earlier lightness."I came with information," he said.Christian’s expression didn’t change, but his attention sharpened
PREPARE THE CAR
"You’re leaving… aren’t you?"Aurora asked in a calm tone from the doorway, though she sounded steady, yet her voice carrying a quiet certainty that made Christian pause for just a fraction of a second as he stood near the table, his fingers tightening slightly around the strap of the bag he had just finished packing, the three amulet fragments resting inside like a silent reminder of what lay ahead.He did not turn immediately, not because he didn’t want to, but because he already knew she had understood about what was going to happen.After a brief pause, he exhaled slowly and replied. "Yes.... I need to leave." The answer was simple, direct, and unavoidable.Aurora stepped inside, her gaze fixed on him as she took in the sight before her, the packed bag, the composed posture, and the absence of hesitation that told her this wasn’t a thought.It was a decision."I know you're supposed to go, but what about me? Aren't you going to tell me anything about your departure?" she asked, h
NOT WHERE YOU THINK IT IS
"Why does it feel like no matter what I choose… something always slips out of my hands?"Christian’s voice was low, almost a murmur to himself as he stood alone near the balcony.The evening air brushing faintly against his face while the distant lights of the estate stretched endlessly before him, yet none of it seemed capable of settling the storm quietly building inside him.The room behind him was silent.Aurora had left some time ago.The warmth that had filled the space earlier had faded, leaving behind something more complicated, something he had not yet decided how to name.His fingers tightened slightly against the railing.Too many things, too many directions, too many responsibilities pulling at him all at once.Before he could sink deeper into those thoughts, a faint shift in the air behind him made him pause.Not a sound.... Not a presence anyone else would notice, but he did, because he knew it.Slowly, he turned and there Ezra stood silently while watching.For a brief
THAT'S IT?
"Why are you so quiet…?" Aurora’s voice came out softer than usual, carrying a faint trace of hesitation as she lay still, her gaze fixed on the ceiling for a few seconds longer before slowly turning her head toward him.The morning light spilling gently across the room and making everything feel calmer… yet somehow more complicated than before.Christian was already awake, lying beside her silently without uttering a word.His eyes were open, though he wasn’t looking at her at first, as if he had been awake long enough to gather his thoughts but not enough to decide what to do with them."I could ask you the same thing," he replied after a moment, his voice sounded calm, though not as steady as it usually was.Aurora shifted slightly, pulling the sheet closer around herself without realizing it, her fingers gripping the edge lightly as she avoided his gaze for a brief second.'That’s because…" she began, then stopped, letting out a small breath before trying again. "This is… a littl
