"I'm sorry…" Maria sighed; she had already cried a lot for Veredorr before. "I wasn't able to do anything… He gave everything he had to save you from the crown's control. He loved you very much."
"N-No…" Tear muttered, her lips beginning to tremble. "B-But wasn't he like… a soul? Some type of ghost? I would love him even if he was…!"
"Yeah, I helped him become a ghost when I first met him." Maria smiled faintly. "He told me about you, about the Frost Queen and everything else… He was the one that convinced me you were actually innocent, and he was the one that convinced me to spare your life and give you another chance."
"V-Veredorr…" Tear suddenly started crying. "No… Veredorr… I'm sorry… It's all my fault…"
"I wish he could had been here with you; I wish…" Maria sighed. "I wish you two could had have… a happy ending together." She slowly recalled the many times she read stories.
