Chapter 220 A Plot Beneath the Roses

• "Allacia, I mean it. I've come here alone, without backup or schemes. I'm not the man who mocked or hurt you in the past. I swear I've changed."
• Daniel's voice was low and sincere, his gaze unwavering as it rested on Allacia. Each word carried the weight of remorse.
• Hearing his mention of "the past," Allacia couldn't help but recall those memories. Back then, she'd been a reckless dreamer who didn't know better. But now? That chapter was long closed.
