On the other side, their conversation riveted Vivian to her spot.

The fogginess in her mind had begun to fade away. But when she heard Daphne's words, it felt as though her entire brain turned blank once again.

Prince Kurt? What does that mean? Why did that woman call him a prince?

Vivian became even more confused when she saw how Daphne was kneeling respectfully in front of Kurt.

Didn't Great-grandpa rescue Kurt from poverty? How did he suddenly become a prince? Also, what sort of place is Elysium?

In the span of a few seconds, Vivian's mind was thrust back into a state of chaos.

After around five minutes, Daphne's words seemed to have swayed Kurt. Slowly, he lowered his bow.

The corners of Daphne's mouth upturned into a smile.

“You'd better not be lying,” Kurt warned her.

“I will not back out on my promise. I solemnly swear that if I don't rescue Mrs. Calyette and your sister, I will pay for the price with my own eyesight. Furthermore, breaking my vow means I will be cursed to remain in the afterlife for eternity. I will not be able to reincarnate,” Daphne declared as she raised her right hand.

This vow was considered the highest form of binding that one could place on themselves.

After all, having good eyesight was one of the high priest's most important assets.

Without her eyesight, Daphne would be as good as dead.
