“I’m alright,” Gwain insisted, though Yuna could quickly tell he wasn’t. He 

wasn’t about to back down.

He wondered, How could I possibly admit to the woman I love that I, once the 

best, have repeatedly suffered defeat? Would she still admire me the same 

way if she knew? 

“Okay, as long as you’re fine,” Yuna responded gently. 

Changing the subject, she suggested, “How about we see Aunt Isabella?” 

Gwain hesitated for a moment before finally nodding. He dreaded the idea. I 

really don’t want to run into Santiago and Yorick again, but I need answers. 

Who are they, and why are they after me? 

His resolve hardened. Once I’ve mastered the Dragon Tome, I’ll settle the 

score. 

Meanwhile, Shane and his group followed Santiago into a room in a cozy

“Mr. Santiago, Maestro Moretti would like to share some tea with you and 

catch up,” one of Isabella’s female disciples welcomed kindly. Then she 

turned to Shane and the rest. “The three of you, come with us.”

Shane snapped, “That’s not happening! There are bad guys out there trying 

to take Roselynn. If we leave without Master, they could grab her anytime!” 

The disciple reassured him, “You’ll be safe with us. No one dares cause 

trouble on Maestro Moretti’s turf.” 

Santiago gave them a wave. “Go on. The brat from the Lannister family 

wouldn’t dare start anything in the Magnolia Theater.” 

“Okay,” Roselynn reluctantly agreed, dragging Shane along. 

Clearly, this meeting meant a lot to Santiago, and everyone knew Isabella 

had profound ties to his late wife. Even though they were curious, it was 

apparent they didn’t belong in that conversation.

As escorted outside, they unexpectedly ran into Gwain in the front yard. 

Shane froze while Gwain’s eyes locked on Roselynn. To him, she was the key 

to unlocking the Dragon Tome and turning his life around. Yet he was on 

Isabella’s turf now, and Santiago’s presence made him cautious. He couldn’t 

make a move. 

Then, the two groups passed by without a word. 

A moment later, Lady Rosa and several other disciples stepped forward, 

stopping Gwain and Yuna. “Apologies, but we’re hosting two important 

guests, and no one else is permitted inside.” 

“I’m Yuna Tanner, Maestro Moretti’s niece. Why can’t I see her?” Yuna asked, 

her voice icy. 

Lady Rosa gave a soft laugh. “Maestro Moretti left all her family ties behind 

years ago. She only keeps connections with her disciples. Family doesn’t 

mean anything anymore.”

Yuna’s frustration was clear, but she couldn’t argue. All she could do was wait 

outside with Gwain. 

Inside, Yorick and his tiger, Simba, sat drinking tea in one of the rooms. The 

house’s layout was such that the rooms were on opposite sides, with only the 

central hall between them. Though they couldn’t see each other, Yorick and 

Santiago could feel the other’s presence. 

Santiago took a long sip of wine, wiped his mouth, and smirked. “So, you’ve 

finally come out after hiding for two decades?” 

Putting down his cup, Yorick calmly replied, “I wasn’t hiding. I was fulfilling a 

promise. Now that the time’s right, I’m back.” 

“A promise? To her?” Santiago’s tone grew sharp. 

“Um. She’s the only person I’d ever make a promise to,” Yorick responded, his 

gaze distant. 

Santiago scoffed. “Don’t act like you cared for her! You’re the one who killed

her!” 

Yorick said nothing, refusing to deny or confirm it.

“I’ll make you pay for that!” Santiago suddenly shouted, gripping his wine jug 

tightly, ready to throw it hard enough to smash through the walls. 

Before he could, a calm, graceful voice echoed through the house. “Who’s 

threatening to break my place?” 

Santiago froze as a familiar figure stepped into the hall, pulling him back into 

old memories. 

Yorick lowered his cup, watching the figure enter. 

Her delicately painted face radiated elegance, and her sharp, lively eyes 

seemed to see straight through people. She scanned between the two men, 

both legends in their own right, and her presence brought an instant calm to 

the room. Every move she made was full of grace and poise. 

Santiago’s emotions swirled, and he muttered under his breath, “What a

shame… what a shame…”

“What’s a shame?” Isabella asked, though she already knew. Her words hit 

Santiago right where it hurt. 

He let out a bitter laugh. “It’s a shame that the person standing here now isn’t 

the same as the one from back then. And Jane… well, she’s not you, Isabella. 

No matter how much you look alike, you’re not the same person.” 

Isabella smiled softly. “Santiago, haven’t you realized that by now? Are you 

still hoping Jane will return alive?” 

Santiago sighed deeply. “Yeah… I guess I am.” He then raised his 

cup and 

apologized, “I lost my temper earlier. Today’s special–we’re here for a 

gathering. Let’s drink to that.” 

Isabella raised her cup as well. “Santiago, I have a performance, so I’ll toast 

with tea.” 

“Sure!” Santiago replied, downing his drink in one go, though his eyes couldn’t
