As she heard Anke's words, Nils' eyes twitched. It would be a lie to say that her brothers' current conditions didn't make her heart ache. They were her closest relatives in this world and had always been at her side, supporting her through all endeavors.
However, as "Anselm's face" reappeared within her mind, her softening heart was replaced by rage.
"They only have themselves to blame. Who asked them to foment such an evil ploy? I will never forgive them!"
Hearing those words, Anke knew that all her words were like eggs thrown at a brick wall. As Nils' mother, she knew that her most descriptive trait wasn't her righteous heart.
No, it was her stubbornness! Once she set her mind on something, besides herself, no one could make her waver. Therefore, if she weren't willing to forget and forgive, regardless of what her mother said, she never would.
Aware of that, Anke shook her head.
