Capítulo 1846: Preparations

The naming ceremony was shorter than Rui had expected, much to his delight. They adorned him with garlands of flowers and leaves as well as leaving markings across his body, making him swear to a number of oaths.

"I hereby swear to act in good faith with those who bear the name of Silas…"

"I hereby swear to always do good by my kin…"

"I hereby swear to never betray the name of Silas…"

"Hm…" His grandmother regarded him. "Then rise, Rui Quarrier Silas Kandria."

Rui stood up from a kneeling position, smiling at her.

"From this day forth, you shall bear the name of Silas," she told him in a solemn tone. "Never forget your oaths, your responsibilities, or the privileges of being part of our clan."

"I will not forget," he promised.

She smiled affectionately at him. "And that brings us to an end to the ceremony."

Rui nodded. "…I must return now. But before I go."
