Warnings and Secrets (12)
Your tutor is dissapointed by your irresolution. You could have just said “Yes”!
Now he only hopes and waits for you to change your mind. He is old, and the harsh winters of this land are not something his body could easily endure. He said that in Italy weather is warmer, and each winter fades like a warm autumn rain. But here is diffrent. Another winter spent in the land beyond the woods would shurely kill him.
He said that he will shurely travel back this summer. Only a few more months for you to decide.
Dumb girl. When will you learn?
“To seduce a duke is no easy craft. Now he is more than a man. He is blessed by the high-king, which carries the will of God on this earth. If you disturb the kingdom with chaos the stars of heavens will be gainst you.
In best case, your destiny will end in death!
Think ahead!
The nature of the solvent is so subtle that can bypass all flesh and touches the very heart. That wich touches the heart can shurely have the power to kill. I know this, and my former master knew it too. A perphume that seduces is no less poison than a potion that truly kills. The same principle is joined in both crafts.
Don’t chase any fantasy.
Do not knock to the forbidden doors of this art.
Don’t question the judgement of the elders.
…and think of it!
What if you find the solvent that has the power to kill? You’d be dead the moment you find it.
What if the solvent has the power to give birth to love? You may be exposed to it and love things you should not.
The solvent spares no one!
All hearts share the same elements, even if some are rough and some are gentle. Never play with a hidden fire. Never play with one’s heart.
It is not wise my child.”
But you don’t take heed to his warnings.
Night after night you read his scrolls and steal their wisdom.
You can hear only a whisper hidden in the dark: “Read ahead. It can be done.”[ listen... ]
