Capítulo 669: The Only Way

Within the silence of The Oracle's Domain, two entities faced each other in palpable tension.

Rey was seated on the floor, while The Oracle watched him from her graceful position as she stood with the most upright stature ever.

The silence that existed between them only lasted a second before Rey spoke up once again, after asking his first question.

"I don't know where to begin with this task. What exactly am I supposed to do?" 

Rey said this for two major reasons. 

'First, I want to confirm whether or not this was her intention from the start. If Esme is just a hostage for me to fulfill this role and get her the actual heir. And the second reason… to learn more about what I'm supposed to do here.'

The way Rey saw it, he was stuck in an impossible situation. 

'I have to tread carefully here…' He nodded to himself, grateful that The Oracle didn't even seem upset about the attacks that he rendered towards her.
