Treeda said nothing. The look on her face showed that she was deep in thought, but Ania and Vloz had no idea what Treeda would say next.
"... And, from what you said earlier, is that child now dead?"
Sighing to stop herself from crying, Ania nodded.
Treeda nodded as well, rubbing her eyes. "I see… So, I can't meet the boy… To imagine, a young ape defying a terrifying dragon, like Brak… I… I would love to meet such a brave soul. And if he got Trada to help him, that shows how much she cared for the boy. Trada… She's far too self-centered to offer help so freely. He must have truly impressed her…
"Ania, be proud of your boy, and of your husband. They… I wish I had subordinates as fearless and bold as them." Treeda shook her head and smiled. "How did the boy perish?"
