Arin Helev pulled back a bit when he heard Iria. "You don't know what you're saying, Iria. Fulfilling my dream and creating a better Qalagon... do you think I'll be able to go on if the price turns out to be so high? You know how much you mean to me."
"Your father trust in you," Iria argued. "That's means you're capable of letting it happen. You only need faith."
Until a while ago, Arin Helev used to believe that he will be able to take the risk but... that assassination attempt made him insecure.
That incident was like an eye-opener for him. A reminder of how unwilling he was to live on without her in case something happened.
"You know what I did last time," he muttered. "It doesn't need much for some people to change and I'm one of those people, Iria. If you happen to suffer for my decision, I don't know what I would do."
