Rendy ascended the balloon while the three advisors went down. I watched him moving with his head lowered, standing silently before me, without opening his mouth at all.
"Don't be like this, he brought this on himself," I said, trying to console him.
"I'm not sad for him, I'm angry for what he did."
"Don't be angry, he is an adult man, he chose his stand, and whatever happened to him is only his fate, his alone."
Rendy just looked at me, with a calm face, but broken eyes. I sighed, it seemed I wasn't able to fix this crack, not for now at least.
"Anyway, I want you to lead the armies with my advisors. We need to break through this layer, and enter the fifth layer as fast as possible."
Rendy didn't say much, and I couldn't make him get over this fatal treason of his brother. At least I showed my stance towards him, that I still trusted him.
