A heavy silence engulfed the entire house.
For Nightbane, who had lived their entire life without committing any crime... the sudden question stumped them.
But before anyone could reply, a clear yet steady voice cut through the heavy silence.
"I will." It was Silas; his sapphire blue eyes stayed trained on Ivy, like the world itself was trivial and only she mattered.
In reality, that was indeed the case.
For Silas, no one mattered more than Ivy.
The coldness surrounding reduced, while another voice joined,
"I will too." It was Victor. Even though he didn't know why his long-lost daughter wanted to kill, he trusted her enough that she wouldn't do it for no reason.
"I will too." Helena joined in too. Her eyes were filled with calmness like still water.
She had her own selfish motives for agreeing. It was the guilt and surging love toward Ivy, her long-lost child, for whom she had hardly done anything.
