Leaving her grandfather's side, Oriana retreated to her study, where she instructed her servants not to disturb her. She faced two critical tasks - safeguarding the two men who held paramount importance in her life: her beloved grandfather and Arlan, the man she couldn't help but care for, despite her best efforts to foster animosity.
Oriana found herself with a dual mission. First, she needed to ascertain the composition of the medicinal pill that Erich had provided her to rescue her ailing grandfather. Secondly, she had to delve into the forbidden realm of black magic, consulting ancient tomes in search of a way to aid Arlan.
She summoned her magical abilities, and with a subtle flourish, a pill materialized in her palm. Carefully, she examined it, scrutinizing its scent and taste, attempting to discern the elusive herbal ingredients it concealed.
