The cliffs of Crimsant were a well-known attraction, famous for their steep peaks. Every day, countless hikers came to scale them, eager to stand at the treacherous summit and capture the breathtaking view. It was there that I first met Alaric. After our marriage, we revisited the cliffs, deeply in love at the time. He had held my hand as we climbed to the highest peak, and with the vast landscape stretching before us, he had made a heartfelt vow—promising that our love would last as long as the heavens and the earth. His words were still vivid in my mind, yet everything had changed. I let out a bitter laugh. His vow had never been meant for me. He was merely using me as a substitute to soothe his longing for Selena. And now, by some twist of fate, Cedric had chosen this very location.
