Farewells
The bells rang in the morning, echoing through the entire city of Adenberd, followed by a saddening announcement of Alier's passing, leaving everyone dumbfounded in utter shock.
Just the last night, an atmosphere of festivities filled with exuberance enveloped the entire city. People were happy, singing and dancing as they drowned in the cheerful mood.
It came off as a huge shock to anyone who heard the news. The infamous cultists had struck again, this time targeting the White Family, or perhaps, the Young Master of the White Family.
Although no explicit details were released by the White Family, the whole matter was eventually leaked, and its common details were revealed in front of everyone.
No matter what anyone had thought of Ethan before, now everyone also held pity and sympathy for him in their hearts. This was the second attempt made on his life and although he had survived, at the cost of his Uncle's life.
