Following this, the Commander said, "Come, Aryan, follow me. I am taking you to your quarters." Aryan headed to his room. Meanwhile, back at the palace, the King was informing the Queen about Aryan’s return. Princess Meherin overheard everything from behind a curtain and grew restless to see Aryan. She rushed over to his quarters and knocked gently on his door.

When Aryan opened the door, Meherin stood frozen in silence. A white bandage was wrapped around Aryan's eyes, yet his silhouette now radiated a strange, formidable aura.

Aryan: (In a calm voice) Who is at the door? The sound of your breathing tells me you are a woman, and your fragrance indicates you belon to the royal family. Princess Meherin, why are you here?
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqs8KOSMYKa
Meherin: (With a trembling voice) Aryan... how did you know it was me? You are... (Meherin looked at Aryan’s eyes and could not speak any further; tears rolled down her cheeks).
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoO4oxvuDLF
Aryan: (With a faint smile) I have lost my eyes, Princess, not my consciousness. This darkness has taught me to recognize many things. Have you come to find joy in my plight, or to pity me?
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVegX9gU7Xs
Meherin: (Emotionally) No, Aryan! Do not misunderstand me. Since the day that injustice was done to you, I haven't been able to forgive myself. I am deeply ashamed of what my father did. I have come to beg for your forgiveness.
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDVwFzmh1O6
Aryan: Forgiveness? Princess, stains created by blood cannot be washed away with water. My family, my mother... have you forgotten about them?

Meherin: I haven't forgotten anything, Aryan. Believe me, the luxury of this palace now feels like poison to me. I only came to know—how did you survive such a devastating blow and return? And in this one month, you seem to have transformed completely.
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcdoP0YBPhN
Aryan: I have returned to fulfill my purpose. I am no longer that weak Aryan who would take a beating and bite the dust. I am now a warrior who understands even the language of darkness.
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8u0PHkXI2Y
Meherin: This transformation within you frightens me, Aryan. You have no eyes, yet a strange power seems to resonate through your body. Is there any way I can help you?
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpyNGtNR1wQ
Aryan: If you want to help, just do one thing. Do not stand in my way at the military academy from tomorrow. I want to prove my worth not as a prince, but as an ordinary student.
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVg3xkEWADR
Meherin: I know you can do it. Your stubborn resolve and self-confidence will take you very far. I just want you to be careful, because the enemy is still inside the palace.
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXGKYiyFfr8
Aryan: Thank you for your warning. You may leave now, I need to rest.

Letting out a deep sigh, Meherin turned back to look at him one last time as she left. She realized that this Aryan was far more powerful than before, but his heart was now fueled solely by the fire of revenge.

The night grew deeper after Meherin left. Aryan was trying to sleep, but he suddenly woke up in a state of panic. The horrific memories of his father, sister, and his mother's severed head kept flashing before his eyes. In the solitude of the night, he began talking to his late parents—

Aryan: (Sighing with a choked voice) Father... sister... can you hear me? In this pitch-black room, I am searching for the sound of your breath. Whenever I close my eyes, I see that blood-stained table and your lifeless bodies. My heart is tearing apart, Father... but I will not shed tears today. Mother told me to turn these tears into blood.

(Aryan remained silent for a moment, clenching his fists tightly)

"Mother, you made me promise to return. Look, I am back. I stand today in the very heart of the capital where our blood was spilled. Those who betrayed us, those who snatched you away in demonic celebration, they think Aryan is blind and finished. They do not know that the bandage over my eyes is actually their death warrant."
