Velian stood before the laboratory, his heart heavy with a mixture of trepidation and determination.
The room hummed with the sounds of magical equipment and glassy equipment, a stark contrast to the cheerful ambience of the rest of the castle.
He glanced at his mother, Daphnia, who stood beside him, her gaze filled with concern.
"This place," Daphnia said, her voice filled with resolve, "should be removed from our castle. These cruel experiments have no place under our happy home."
She said those words uncomfortable remembering about things that were happening in this place.
Velian nodded in agreement, his eyes reflecting the conflict within him. He understood his mother's stance, for the suffering inflicted upon creatures within these walls was a stain on their family's legacy.
Even though it was for a good purpose in the end.
