Revoking the Oath of the Dwarven Race

Outside the cave, Morgrim and Elina sat cross-legged with a spread of food laid out before them.

To stave off boredom, Morgrim had asked one of the soldiers to bring food from the palace.

Had this been in the past, the soldier likely would have refused outright—and might even have thrown Morgrim back into prison.

But after the lesson he received from Leon, the soldier had no choice but to obey.

Moreover, upon seeing the black token in Elina's hand, his fear only deepened. He didn't dare argue with Morgrim in the slightest.

Morgrim bit into the mountain goat's leg, savoring it with a satisfied expression.

But then, he noticed something strange—Elina hadn't touched her food at all.

This puzzled him, sparking both confusion and concern.

Still chewing, he asked gently, "Lady Elina, why aren't you eating? Is the food not to your liking? If so, I can have the soldier bring something else."
