"Get up..." Jared stepped forward, offered his hand, and lifted her gently to her feet. His words came out soft, carrying a quiet comfort.
"Miss Chance, there's no need for this. I gave my word, I'll make House of Wagner and the Celestial Palace pay for what they've done... You are House of Chance's last heir and my friend. Protecting you and avenging you are things I ought to do, you don't have to bow so low."
His eyes stayed on Vivian. "Trust me, Dominic, Rowan, and every Celestial Palace dog will repay blood with blood. They'll suffer for their crimes, and your father along with every fallen clansman will rest easier."
Still held by Jared's supporting arm, Vivian looked up at him, gratitude filling her gaze while she nodded hard. More tears slipped down, yet no sound left her lips.
Jared turned to Luther and Grace. His tone remained even, but a question lay inside it. "Will you come with me to Cloudhaven City to help Miss Chance, or remain here and keep recuperating? The road to Cloudhaven will be dangerous. The House of Wagner and the Celestial Palace won't yield easily. Staying here is far safer."
