Selena Kensington silently reached out her hand to wrap around Sterling Norwood's waist, pressing her face against his back.
Feeling the warmth and sense of security emanating from the man, Selena's heart settled.
"My father seems to have had a sister..."
"He advised us in his letters not to pursue the truth, to live the life we want and not to get involved in this mess. He also told us... not to leave Aethelgard for too long."
Selena took a deep breath, somewhat heavily asking, "He said those who chased after him no longer dare to step into Aethelgard again because this is the Norwood Family's territory."
"So, you're aware of what happened back then, aren't you?"
The words that followed from Selena were very light, very light, yet enough for Sterling to hear.
She already had doubts when she saw the letter.
What are debts of sin? What are the worldly and cursed shackles?!
What is the reason behind all of this?
