"When I left Darla, I held hopes that perhaps someday, I would see her again... I never thought she had already..." Lord Melven trailed off at this point, tilting his head back.
"I am at fault, I have failed to protect my sister..." Lord Melven murmured in a pained tone.
Zariah's heart ached for Lord Melven as much as it did for her own self, while she had lived with the pain of never knowing her own mother,
Lord Melven had lived believing his sister was out there, alive and well somewhere, living a happier life than what the Coral Seas could afford her.
Whereas, Darla Moonstone had passed away at a young age, merely a month after birthing her only daughter, Zariah.
Although Zariah would always live with the pain of her mother's loss, she did not lament it for she knew her mother had given her life for a worthy cause.
Zariah passed King Askel a glance and he nodded, letting go of his hold on her hand.
