บท 916: Battle at the Selnes Country: Death of Schine

Edmar looked down at his father's battered form, then shifted his gaze to the barrier enveloping the Windi Clan's household.

"This time... There will be no more barrier," Edmar muttered as he landed beside his father, who lay in a pitiful state.

Schine summoned the last of his strength to open his eyes. He fixed his gaze on his son and uttered with great effort, "Our god didn't imprison us... It was an oath we made for our survival..."

Edmar's mind swirled with confusion at his father's cryptic words. The revelation that their god hadn't imprisoned them, but rather, they had bound themselves by an oath for survival, left him with more questions than answers. Desperate for clarity, he leaned closer to Schine, hoping to uncover the truth, even as his father's life rapidly ebbed away.

"What do you mean, Father? What oath are you referring to?" Edmar asked urgently, his heart pounding as Schine's life slipped away.
