Adyr, having exposed this secret so bluntly, did not show the slightest hint of apology on his face. Instead, he let out a low chuckle and spoke calmly.
"Don't worry, no one in this room would judge you because of your past or because you are cursed with a different, unorthodox Path."
He was not just comforting them; he was stating a fact.
If any group here qualified as blasphemous and unorthodox, it was the Humans. They had invaded the Beyond, broken long-standing balances, and built a system that allowed them to follow more than one Path at once. Compared to that, a single cursed lineage and an unusual Path hardly seemed shocking.
Zephan paid close attention to how they reacted and saw that no one flinched or showed any sign of disgust. Henry and Rhys looked more interested than anything else, and Marielle stayed just as calm as before, so he finally let out a quiet sigh of relief.
