"That means I must die." Aria's answer made Lyod feel like a sword was drawing his heart. How could Lyod be willing to give up the death of his wife―the woman he loves most - his mate? Even if someone persuaded him to trade Aria for the whole world, Lyod would never do it.
"No. I won't let you do it." Lyod understood what had made Aria hesitate―it was because he wouldn't support Aria's decision.
"Lyod, listen to me. Do you think the God of Light will let me die even if I succeed in this trial? I'm going to die, but it's only temporary."
"What do you mean?"
"I have to blend my celestial soul into my light element to merge mother's spirit into her body. At that time, my body will have no soul, nor will the power of light sustain life in my body. However, my heart will still be beating, and I need your help to ensure it continues to beat and my body stays warm until my soul returns."
