Old Acquaintance

'I promise you I will find out why you have to live like this, and when that day comes, I will do everything in my power so that you will never have to step inside that cold and lonely tower again. I will protect you,' Cian thought, his eyes full of determination to protect his sister.

With their heads lowered, the two nodded lightly. "Understood, Your Highness."
