In a moment of triumph the Massey promise was formed to oppose the infamous Mario Judah. This alliance of steel signified the bond between man and women and is the promise that a secret will never be shared. Even if the boy’s highest council demands it, the Massey Promise prevails victorious and no secret is shared.

Old Welsch custom of giving a gift of food with one serving missing.
The “Promise” of the gesture was that this gift would not be given if it were not at least good enough for the person giving the gift. The missing serving was presumed to be used to confirm the quality of the item and evaluate possible improvements.
The custom is thought to have originated in the mid-seventeenth century.
