The small bitter smile across his lips sent chills on Cataleya's spine. Certainly, Adelard was a man who knew no frivolousness on his words. He had always been resolute on his ways and unchanging even in that life.
So, his claim resonated the veracity of what he might had felt during his anguish moment.
