Chapter 106 Maze Of Time

• Jade’s words left her thinking, a plea wrapped in undeniable truth. Her expression, her body language, everything about her was so convincing, so sincere, that even Viviana found herself moved. She hesitated, then slowly nodded, the firmness in her eyes softening. “You could have convinced me with a good bottle of wine, Jade. Why go through all the trouble of explaining so much? Especially when you know I serve the Darklord?” Her tone was curious, demanding, as she tilted her head slightly, studying Jade.
• Jade met her gaze evenly. “I’ve already answered that, Viviana. I’m your friend, and I want to save you from the pain of that loss. I want to help you before it’s too late.” Her voice was gentle, but the hidden message was clear. She wanted to protect Viviana, not just from the past but from the future as well.
• Viviana fell silent, her eyes widening as she processed Jade’s words. The room seemed to hold its breath, the tension visible as everyone waited for her response.
