Lily wiped her tears and slowly opened the door with a depressed face, "Grandpa…"
Her angelic face no longer looked as radiant as when she used to spend time with Damien, and her black gem-like eyes looked dull than ever before. It was as if she was struggling to keep herself from losing all hope.
Marvin softly smiled as he patted her head with a warm expression and wiped her eyes as he said, "Don't be sad, dear. Damien will be alright. We both know that he is no ordinary man and how special he is. If he even had the guts and the ability to make the most powerful man in the continent feel so angry and desperate to hunt him down, then it only speaks volumes of how much powerful Damien must have become after he left this empire."
Lily blinked her eyes as she found a ray of hope in his words and felt that it did make sense. Still, she had been praying every day for Damien's safety, and not even once did she even care about her own situation.
