When they had made the decision to jump off the cliff, even though they had been firm on their choice, why wouldn't want someone to save them? Was there anyone who actually wanted to die this young? That was doubtful, but since it was far better than being forced into such a nausea-inducing lifestyle where they would be nothing more than slaves, they would honestly rather die. Perhaps, if not for the appearance of the mercenaries, they would have chosen to go with Arnando or Niall where they would have been safe.
Unfortunately, it didn't pan out. Aletheia now understood why they had all specified to them that the mercenaries wouldn't kill them. It was because they hadn't wanted them to feel any guilt if they chose to do it, or feel as though they needed to stay rather than allow the three of them to be killed. With that in mind, she smiled and sent Arnando a message.
'Thank you... thank you all for trying so hard for us.'
