Arden takes Runa to a place that means a lot to him. The place where Arden spent such a long sentence in loneliness. Just being friends with books and amazing sights made his heart ache even more.
Now he came here with the person who made him fall for the second time. The first fall was the fall as a Tsarqi. But the second fall this time was a fall that made him willing to give up the opportunity to return to where he came from.
He knew he no longer deserved to be a Tsarqi. This sin will always follow him. If he returns, he will have to give up on his love for Runa. And that won't happen even for a thousand years.
With Roderick's help and permission, they passed through a portal that led straight to the place. Otherwise, it will take days to get there.
The portal closed behind them and Arden heard an amazed sigh from Runa, who was in his arms.
"You live in this place?" she asked. "It's extremely beautiful."
