WINTER'S heart broke when Captain Denver handed him a bland black urn where his mother's ashes were apparently kept.
Miss Luna, the witch, didn't answer his question about his mother's punishment because apparently, she still couldn't trust him yet. He understood her decision. Since he might be controlled again, it would be better not to learn too much information for now.
"Miss Luna retrieved Lady Prescott's body before they throw it in the River of Sin. Then, she cremated the Supreme's body and kept the ashes in this urn," Captain Denver said in a voice filled with pain. The River of Sin was the river in front of St. Ibela– the prison for the most dangerous criminals of the empire. The bodies of the executed hard criminals were usually thrown in that river. "To think that they tried to throw the Supreme's body in the River of Sin is something that never fails to make me angry."
