For the son of a top-tier family, he barely had anything worth crap. I get that items above bronze tier aren’t permitted, but I expected at least one silver-rank item.

The only thing of value to is the poison—that, I can make great use of.

Khal stored everything valuable in his inventory before standing and turning to face rlin, who sat slumped on the ground, her eyes vacant.

"Get up." He spoke in a dark tone. rlin just sat there quietly, staring at the ground, as if she was staring so far yet so close.

Seems she’s lost her will to live.

"Since you no longer have the drive to live, let take it from you."

Khal drew his fist back, veins bulging, his eyes glaring at her, filled with murderous intent.

"Don’t bla . You tried to kill first."

Khal brought his fist forward with force, aid at rlin’s face. She just sat there her expression inchanging, her body unmoving.

FWOOSH!

He stopped his fist right before her face. rlin still sat unmoving, her gaze unshaken.

Khal lifted his hand from his face, staring at her with a disappointed expression.

"That’s too easy... You should keep living with the worthless and uselessness you’re currently feeling."

Khal turned around and walked off towards Hagan’s grave. rlin finally moved. She lifted her head, staring at Khal, tears dried onto her face.

"What gives you the right..." rlin spoke.

Khal stopped in his tracks, turning around to face her. A curious look on his face.

"What gives you the right to call worthless? I tried my best, you call worthless as if you weren’t the one that stopped from being useful. If you had just leave things be i could have convinced Renold to leave you be, and i could have saved my sister..."

"This is your fault."

Khal turned to her, visibly frustrated.

"Huh? What did you just say to ?"

Khal walked over to her, his steps slow and deliberate.

"It’s my fault? It’s my fault you betrayed ? It’s my fault i didn’t roll over and let you kill ?"

"What? i never tried to—

"SHUT UP!" Khal shouted, cutting of rlin.

"It’s my fault you and the bitch you follow couldn’t beat ?" Khal stood in front of her, his eyes looking down at her with animosity. rlin stared up at him, her pupils shaking."

"It’s my fault you were too useless to use your own strength to save the person close to you that you’d stood so low as being a dog for people that treat you like garbage, the sa people who would give you an ultimatum to save soone that shares their blood."

They both stared at each other for a few monts before rlin broke her gaze, staring back down at the ground.

He’s right... It’s my fault. rlin thought.

"My sister used to always tell , ’Never trust the sweet words of soone that stands to gain from your delusion, but the words of soone that dares to tell you the hard truth even when it benefits them nothing."

"I never understood what she ant back then but now i get it."

"I believed the lies of the 9th elder and his empty promises, which probably are going to cost my life.

She looked back up at Khal, a single tear running out of her eye.

"But though you could have long killed , you choose to ridicule and tell what i needed to hear, even though im your enemy... even though you stood to benefit nothing."

Khal’s eyes widen in surprise. Even though his words had been used to ridicule her, she took them in a different light. She took his words and used them to grow as a person.

He thought for a mont before speaking.

"You give too much credit. My words were ant to put you in your place. Let you see that the world does revolve around you and the choices you make. You choose to bla instead of yourself, since that would make you feel better about letting your sister die."

"You did the sa thing just now, blaming soone else for deceiving you, when being deceived was your own fault."

rlin broke her gaze, tilting her head back to the ground. Seemingly at the verge of breaking into tears.

"Even so." Khal spoke.

"You were willing to accept that your weak. So beco strong."

rlin, Shocked by his words, looked back up at him surprised.

Strong enough to save your sister from her fate, while never losing your drive to put yourself and others close to you first.

Khal reached his hand out towards rlin, his gaze resolute.

"Follow and i promise to find a cure for your sister’s Illness. All i ask in return is to be my eyes and ears in the leywin family."

rlin shifted her gaze, her hands shaking.

"Even after though i betrayed you and tried to steal from you for my own benefit, Why would you trust not to do it again?"

Khal’s eyes glowed with mana, his expression becoming serious.

"I don’t. Just as how you shouldn’t trust not to take your head at the slightest opportunity.

I don’t need to worry about any betrayal. I have the sa item Renold used to deal pain to her earlier, and there’s also the slave contract with her na on it, If my guess is right, i bet she doesn’t even know she signed it.

rlin smiled, wiping away her tears, before looking back up at Khal, reaching out for his hand and holding it.

"If what you’re saying is true and not just the sa sweet words i was warned about..."

"Then ok."
