Chapter 153. Promise
The story was something Emma didn't expect, but now she understood. The old man hadn't approached her because of her abilities or talent. Not even because of Liam, but the reason had been the pearl all along. The whereabouts of the pearl, however, why? Is it true that he wanted to destroy it? Or... he wished to use it like in the past?
"From when... when did he know?" She had doubts about Liam telling anyone. Even if they had lived together a few times, she felt that she can guess his thoughts now. He won't let her be in danger.

"I understand you have doubts....""I will tell you, though I don't know how can I be of any help after I tell you this, it is only one word, a place..."The old man's eyes glinted and as Emma's kept hesitating and looking at her hands, he smiled gently.

If he did that, maybe he wouldn't go through so many schemes to divert the attention of those two Princes in the Palace. From the start, he was the one that ignited the thoughts of rebellion of those two Dukes in the South and make the potion to control the minds of their people. Though, Dom, the High Temple had been of great help all this time. It is not known, but that old priest was a specialist in dark magi. After

I wished so hard I could escape this room quickly. The nervous sweat in my forehead is ruining completely my perfectly done hair.‘Can’t he stop looking at me?’The man was looking at me so intensely. His gaze was making me feel more uncomfortable at every second. Was he trying to dig a hole in my head?‘Why are you looking at me like that? It is not like I wished to be here either. I didn’t want this to happen and certainly not this fast. The old man tricked me into this, and I had no way to withdraw.’The man in front of me was the son of the Hill family, famous for its military career, but instead, he chose to walk away from them to start his now-famous tech company, and… he is my grandfather’s godson. Ethan Hill, that was the name of the man glaring at me.‘Sighs… please stop.’He has two other siblings, well, stepbrothers, the eldest was a man with proud and cold eyes.
