[ It's soft and low, with a note of desperation to it now, as if convincing Adrian of that isn't half as important as convincing himself.
And then Adrian asks what he believes, and in truth, he can't answer that. ]
I believe that there is a man using his name, perhaps. [ That's the closest he can come to reconciling what is happening with the world he knows. A man using the name of a legend to strike fear into other men. He looks out into the empty space before them. The crowd is gone, now, but they haven't long before others give chase. If that castle is to appear, and half of him prays that it won't, not because he fears what awaits him there but because the implications of his family being correct about something so impossible are bone-chilling, it would be best that it appear soon, before the guard comes and initiates bloodshed. ] My deal was with you, and not with him. Will he harm the people here?
