"Future?" Loriel asked with a broken expression. "She wanted to go to the future so she could escape from me?"
The expression of hopelessness on Loriel's face was satisfying.
Dante knew that it was better if it was the king of Summeria that told Elise's father and grandmother about what Elise 'chose' because it would save him the time from going to Myreen.
Loriel would receive more hate after that when King Alexander learned his daughter ran away to the future because of him being a terrible husband. It was not enough to pay for his sins, but as long as Loriel suffered, that was enough.
Of course, Dante was lying to Loriel though.
Elise was still waiting for him in Cretea and did not have a clue about what was happening right now and Dante had no interest in mentioning this at all. Elise was too kind and might still change her mind if she realized that Loriel was sorry.
Dante was doing everyone a favor by keeping the two separated.
