“It’s you, Ms. Linsor. I’ve heard a lot about you.” After a momentary surprise, Dustin quickly recollected himself.
He continued, “Ms. Linsor, as it’s quite late already, may I know the purpose of your visit and who sent you?”
He didn’t know Grace personally, but he had seen her side profile in a painting, Enchanting Elegance. He was
curious to find out the reason for her sudden visit.
“You’ll understand after you read the letter, Mr. Rhys.” Grace didn’t explain. Instead, she took out a letter from her
sleeve and gave it to Dustin with both hands.
“Thanks.” Dustin nodded slightly and took the letter.
As he opened the letter to read it, the content stunned him and made his heart beat faster. The letter wasn’t
signed, and there was no greeting. Only a single sentence was written in the letter.
“Donovan Linsor, the Prince of Carsonne, currently living in the Scenic Monastery in Quandary Mountain, goes by

Dustin immediately knew who sent the letter when he saw the handwriting. He had no idea that this person was so
effective. They actually completed the task within three days without any delay, as promised.
“Please thank them on my behalf. I owe you one for today’s favor. Just let me know if you need help in the future.”
With the flick of a finger, the letter became dust and disappeared completely.
“Besides the letter, my aunt asked me to tell you something.” Grace’s angelic voice rang out again. “She said
there’s been unrest in the palace recently. You mustn’t continue your investigation. If you do, your life will be in
danger.”
“Thanks for the reminder. I know what I’m doing.” Dustin nodded.
It was impossible for him to stop investigating. It had taken him too long to find the clues, and he was very close to
uncovering the truth. He would never give up this easily.
“Dustin Rhys, the past is in the past, and we can only live in the present. What happened ten years ago had already
happened. Past incidents cannot be altered. This is fate,” Grace said.
“Fate?” Dustin laughed and shook his head. “I never believed in fate. I only believe in myself. Regardless of the
outcome, I’d still give it a try.”
“If this ending entails you losing your life and your loved ones, would you still choose to continue?” Grace retorted.
Dustin suddenly fell silent upon hearing his question. He wasn’t afraid of dying, but he didn’t want to risk the lives of
those he cherished.
“Dustin Rhys, I’ve read the oracle for you. The Scenic Monastery in Quandary Mountain is an obstacle you can’t
overcome. If you insist, it will result in many deaths, and you will pay a heavy price.”
Grace sounded very serious. She had never misread the oracle, not even once. She took the risk of visiting Dustin in
hopes of resolving the catastrophe.

“It has already been decided by fate, and I can’t change the outcome. But, you can! All of this started because of
you, and if you choose to let it go now, everything will be at peace. If not, the whole of Oakvale will be awash in
blood, “Grace explained.
“Sorry. I can’t give up now.” Dustin shook his head after a few moments of silence.
He continued, “I have too much burden on me. My life was no longer mine a long time ago. I’m so close to unveiling
the truth now. It’s impossible for me to give up.”
Grace sighed softly at his words. Evidently, she was still unable to convince him. She knew this would happen, but
she wasn’t convinced. She wanted to try and alter the course of fate.
Unfortunately, she couldn’t do it. There were only a handful of people who could change the fate of the world.
Dustin Rhys was one of them.
For the chosen one who bore a heavy burden, every choice made would determine the life and death of many
others.
