Chapter 107: The Untold Story

I was astonished to discover such an untold lineage of Aeliana.

Ulfred continued, “Sir, I have yet to disclose this matter to Aeliana. I respectfully ask that you also refrain from telling her for now. I fear that once she learns the truth, she will rush back to Jinmen to seek clarity. This child has a fierce temperament; knowing her, she might stir up unmanageable chaos. Please keep this die safe for her until the day fate grants us the opportunity to reunite with its rightful owner. If that day never comes, you must guard this secret forever. Revealing it would only torment her…”

Ulfred's admonition was earnest.

I nodded firmly in agreement.

Ulfred sighed softly, “Well, I’ve rambled on enough for an old man like me. Sir, although the mountains are high and the waters long, the world is not vast enough to keep us from meeting again. Aeliana is now in your care.”

With that, Ulfred stood, even preparing to bow to me.

I quickly got up to stop him.
