Chapter 407 – Death's Hat
The Hoods stayed there in silence, no longer saying anything. Morenna had said all she wanted to say. And Dantes had warned his daughter to the best of his abilities.

And that was all they could do.
They would never force her to do what she didn't want to. And they would not forbid her to be with Dorian or anything like that.
Esmeray was old enough to bear the consequences of her own actions. All the two of them hoped, and hoped really dearly, was that she would be strong enough to bear it, if ever these consequences came to her.
And they would come.
