After returning to Eleine's room, he saw that she was already awake. It seemed she had just woken up, as she was still gathering her thoughts. When she saw him enter the room, she smiled.
"How do you feel?" he asked as he approached her.
"I'm good. Thank you, young master, for saving me."
"No worries. We are close family, after all." He smiled and sat on the edge of the bed.
"If you feel even the slightest discomfort, let me know. Your health and comfort should come first," he added.
"Okay," Eleine replied.
She then leaned her head against the headboard of the bed and looked away, as if deep in thought. A moment of silence passed before she turned her gaze back to Aldrian.
"Young master, when you played the guqin that night, what was your intent behind the music? It made me feel the vastness of the sky. Do you have any aspirations to reach beyond it?"
