"That was all it took to disable her?" said Aldrich He shook his head, shaking hih a lens of utility He knew better now, after Haven, when he saw firsthand how iain their loyalty "No, that's the wrong question How do I cure her?"

The Death Lord waved her hand dish I merely need a few minutes alone with her What is iain"

"That's the thing I didn't expect so like this to happen in the first place" Aldrich stared at the Death Lord, accusation sharpening his eyes "You made it seem like there were no risks here That even if she linked to me, to all the awful mess that's in ht her strong enough to handle it," was the Death Lord's explanation

"…I should have known better" Aldrich sighed "You're too used to thinking of children as et strong You, as a dragon, were raised like that, hatched alone, nobody to depend on except yourself

Aldrich knew that Chrysa was not human at heart, and that she could easily deal with people suffering so long as they were 'bad people' But the way she panicked and broke under pressure during the sudden attack from the invisible bots made him question exactly what she could handle

The Death Lord sensed Aldrich's thoughts "Put her through pressure Put her in situations of life and death

Do not fear doping this

She will adapt, I am sure of it It is in her blood, in the instincts bred into her

You are nother this way She exists to meet your expectations; it is wired into her very blood

Lay your expectations out to her clearly, and she will strive her best toand hurt"

"I'll consider it," said Aldrich

"There is no consideration Only doing That third trial quest of yours is an apt opportunity for this," said the Death Lord She took in a breath, reen waves "I do not like doing this, but I will enforcerow stronger And she e show up on his system interface screen
