Capítulo 319: 316: Eliana's story

Val followed through with his words in the streets of the lower city. Then he separated from the group of people he had entered the lower city with, and with his heart light and steps eager, made his way back to the haunted house he had long exorcised.

His heart was racing about and his mind was filled with anticipation, looking forward to the moment he would reunite with Eliana.

Despite the entire expedition being declared dead months ago, Val had an unwavering belief that Eliana would be waiting for him.

His confidence stemmed from his experiences of her overbearing love.

Eliana's affection for him was so profound and overwhelming that Val was certain she wouldn't be able to move on, even if he were to die. He believed with utmost confidence that if the worst happened to him, she would live on carrying the title of his widow with unwavering fidelity.

If her love was any less, he wouldn't have fallen for her.
