Shadow laughed a bit for he understood her fears of Ravens blind rage which has become very rare now. “Be as it may yes but sometimes in life we must take risks no matter how dangerous it can be take Eliezer for example he is taking a big risk by choosing to be with Raven still after one learning his brother had originally hired her to kill him and two also finding out she is the missing heir to the Lunar Throne.” Shadow explained to Adelina as he sat. “He could have just turned his back on her and shunned her after learning those truths but yet he is risking everything to be with her and she is doing the same for her as an assassin she can be targeted as weak and now finding out her origins is another conflict she has to deal with.” Shadow said with a small smirk. “But she got that risk taking from what I know from her own father for he made a very huge risk way before she was even born.” Shadow said “For what I just learned her father ran from his throne to be with the woman he loved and raised Raven among commoners.” Shadow explained and looked at Adelina. “In Life we can either make the choice to follow the safest path and everything be predictable or you can take the risky path that takes you through twist and turns along with unpredictable outcomes but sometimes you just have to take that chance for the reward at the end can be grand.” Shadow explained to her and looked at her with side eyes. “After all aren’t you taking risks yourself for your dear old friend?”

Fath with King Roberto and Allister that were in the home of Asters home back when he was still alive watching the family dynamic that they had developed. Raven was playing with toys that were obviously not the best but could tell they were handmade and ophelia was busy cooking away with the little food they had but willing to try to stretch it out best as possible. Aster was going over numbers at the table until Raven walked over and tugged on his leg begging him to play. Roberto watched as his son was willing to drop anything and started to play with his little girl by dancing which made a raven smile really big for she loved dancing with her father. Roberto looked down with sadness. “He is no anything like me after his mother passes i strictly focused on work and when he asked to play i used to shut him down but here he is willing to stop and just play with Raven when she asked how does he do it when i am sure what he was doing is important?” Roberto asked as he watched.
“I am sure it is because he may be busy but still wanted to create precious memories for he knows in the blink of an eye Raven would no longer be a little kid.” Allister said to his highness as the continued to watch the scene before them.
