Chapter 610 The Consequences of an Unbreakable Oath

Chapter 606 The Consequences of an Unbreakable Oath

Why does it hurt?

The location of the pain is—the unbreakable vow.

It took Malfoy a while to remember the unbreakable vow he had made with Ginny.

What was the content again?

Malfoy tried hard to recall his previous vow.

One of them seems to be ————

The other person should try their best to help the person in danger.

Please note here: it represents the greatest effort.

He couldn't save Ginny.

Could it be that—

Malfoy slowly raised his head and turned to Narcissa.

"Mom, how did you rescue me?"

Narcissa blushed slightly, but she had already prepared her response to this question.

Whether it's dealing with Lucius or Draco.

"I used some of my connections within the Black family."

Narcissa's expression was so natural that it even gave Malfoy the illusion that this was a very easy thing to do.

To be on the safe side, he still asked one more question.

Is it difficult?

"It's not difficult."

Narcissa waved her hand dismissively, as if to put on a nonchalant air.

This statement was made partly to avoid worrying his son, and partly to appease Lucius.

If it was so difficult, how did she manage to rescue Draco?

Therefore, simplicity is the only option.

Upon hearing this, Malfoy felt his wrist hurt even more.

"That—that—"

"What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell anywhere?"

"No----"

Asking his mother to rescue Ginny was a difficult thing for Draco, with his proud pride, to say: he was already saved by his mother's connections, and now he had to ask her for help—

However, if it's as simple as my mother said, then on the other hand...

He also knew that things weren't as easy as his mother had said.

The assassination of Phillips, a prominent figure in the Ministry of Magic, was no small matter.

This was also part of his inner struggle.

But despite the dilemma...

An unbreakable oath has been signed, and it must be kept.

Malfoy's biggest regret now is not failing to assassinate Sean, but rather the unbreakable vow he made with Ginny.

Not only did they fail to get any substantial progress on the plan from Ginny, but they also failed to get anything from her.

On the contrary, I will have to lose some of my own money.

deficit.

That's a huge loss.

Seeing Draco's conflicted expression, Narcissa became even more worried.

What's wrong?

Is there something you're having trouble saying?

"Mom, can you do me a favor?" Draco finally spoke up.

"What are you busy with?" Narcissa asked.

Malfoy's Adam's apple bobbed slightly, his gaze first drifting to the ground before slowly rising again.

"I want you to help someone."

"Who?"

"—Ginny Weasley."

Once you say the name, the rest is much simpler.

"I need your help to rescue Ginny Weasley; she was involved too—"

Narcissa's expression changed instantly upon hearing Draco's words.

How is that possible?

How could she possibly go to Phillips and use her own body to save Ginny, a Mudblood she didn't even know?

Just to save Draco, she spent three consecutive weekends—

Looking back on the past few weekends, Narcissa felt like she was living in a dream.

They want to deny reality.

But the marks on her body serve as a reminder of what she has been through.

"Impossible, absolutely impossible!" she said coldly.

Although Malfoy had anticipated that his mother would not agree easily, he did not expect her reaction to be so intense.

This is likely related to Ginny's Mudblood identity.

But he didn't know that this wasn't the point.

The key point is ————

"Mom, I know this is difficult, but..."

"Draco!"

Narcissa interrupted Draco, fearing he might continue making the request.

"Do you know what I went through to save you? To bring you back alive, I already..."

Her voice paused, and she swallowed the rest of the words back.

Malfoy opened his mouth, but didn't know what to say.

What should I do?

Is this his best effort?

It's incredibly difficult to conceal one's vows and one's true feelings.

"Pretend I didn't hear about this."

As Narcissa spoke, the pain in her wrist intensified.

It felt like ten thousand ants made of chili peppers were gnawing at my wrist.

"I—I—"

Seeing Malfoy's face turn bright red and he was sweating profusely, Narcissa also noticed something was wrong.

Malfoy knew he couldn't hide it any longer.

"Ginny and I made an unbreakable vow."

Despite the excruciating pain in his wrist, he recounted the entire story, including the details of the vow.

As soon as the words were spoken, the huge weight in my heart finally lifted.

It's best to be honest about these things.

Showing off is useless; the consequences of showing off will be...

He knew it all too well.

But when he looked up, ready to meet his mother's angry or even scolding gaze, the scene before him stunned him.

That wasn't anger, nor was it annoyance.

That is————

Narcissa was deathly pale.

This expression is far more terrifying than anger or disappointment; it's as if all the energy in one's body has been drained in that instant.

Malfoy preferred his mother to scold him.

That might make him feel better.

"I see."

After a long silence, Narcissa finally uttered those words.

The sound was so soft it seemed like it would dissipate with a gust of wind.

She looked completely lost, turned around with a blank expression, and slowly stepped up the stairs.

As Malfoy watched his mother's retreating figure, he had a strange feeling.

It was as if the end of that staircase led not to a room, but to hell.
