It seemed as if she was sleeping. This made Einar cry silently, as Kassia looked as beautiful as the first time he looked at her.
Despite that, he could do nothing to save her. He had lost someone important to him again. Fate had stolen his wife again.
The difference was that this time the culprit could be punished; it was not a damn disease; it was someone who existed in the flesh.
The culprit had been Emperor Ludovico and his desire to try to kill Kassia, worst of all, Einar won the battle but not the war.
Ludovico got his mission. In the end, he killed Kassia with his stupid attack and that's why Einar had to watch his wife sleeping forever in a coffin.
