"Sit," Pandu commanded.I took the chair across his desk, maintaining the ramrod-straight posture that was a prerequisite for being inside this 'house.'Pandu finally looked up, his face retaining its powerful authority despite his age. "You've certainly kicked up quite the dust storm," he said.I offered a slight smile. "I was merely attempting to step out of my comfort zone," I replied.He returned the smile. "And when exactly did this 'awareness' strike you? I feel like I foamed at the mouth trying to forbid you from marrying Oscar a few months ago.""Humans are not meant to be stagnant, Grandfather. Consider me Helena 2.0. I’ve realized the Turi family was right, and the Padip family is profoundly irrational."Grandfather chuckled. "You always manage to make me feel ten years younger."

Julian asked.Nadira pointed at me, "Helena stole the bracelet that grandpa gave me. You know I always wear it, right?"Julian approached, his cold face suddenly turning into a confused expression, then he hissed in pain again before finally lifting Nadira up."I am scared, Julian," Nadira said, hugging Julian tightly.
