Elize wanted Arryn to make a vow in order to protect Caleb and his family from her wrath. She knew that Arryn's magic was nearly as ancient and as potent as her father's. If she could do so much with her Edyrm's magic, what could Arryn do. She looked eagerly at Arryn who was still leaning against the wall, her expressions that of disbelief evident in her wide tear-filled eyes.
"A vow?" she murmured in a soft voice.
When Elize nodded slowly, without a second's delay, Arryn vowed. "I vow to the Lore that I will never hurt Caleb or his family. And—"
Elize narrowed her eyes when Arryn stopped at that.
"And I also vow that I will remain your loyal friend till I live."
