"Hmm, but what if she's already dead? It's been two years, and before you even manage to get strong enough to go on intergalactic missions, more years will pass... Even if she's alive now, what makes you think she will still be alive then?" Gustav asked pessimistically.
"I have faith that she still is," Matilda answered.
"That's just being naive," Gustav replied while shaking his head in pity.
"It's better than being saddled down in despair..." Matilda said with a look of determination, "I will save Dahria and her people... If Dahria is d..d..dead... I will make sure I honor her memory by saving her people,"
Gustav sighed as he heard that and turned to face Matilda.
"So, the main reason you actually needed me was not just to stall your betrothal but also to help you save this girl and her people, right?" Gustav stated.
