Chapter 141 — The Oath of Dark Royalty
Saen smiled faintly.
Confusion still lingered in his mind, but beneath it burned something stronger.
Hope.
If this is true… Saen thought,
then he is the one who can restore our power.
Slowly, Saen stepped down from the bed.
His legs trembled, but his resolve did not.
He walked forward and knelt before Shen, lowering his head.
Then, in a steady voice, Saen spoke—the ancient pledge of his family.

"Darkness is the path," Saen declared.
"The force that can suppress all things."
"If you choose the dark—
be the dark."
"Do not trust everything you see,"
"but trust the one to whom you pledge your loyalty."
"Become powerful,"
"accept the truth without fear."
"Stand as royal,"
"and remain honest to the one you swear this dark truth."
Saen raised his head slightly.
His eyes burned with determination.
"Touch the sky with darkness."
The air in the chamber trembled.
Dark mana responded to the oath.
Shen stood silently before him, eyes sharp, unreadable.
A new bond had been formed.
Not of master and servant—
But of dark royalty and chosen guide.
And from that moment on,
the path of darkness began to change.
