Odette said that it was like Rion building a wall by putting together a thousand bricks. Rion arranged them so that the wall stood well. He accidentally broke one brick, and he always looked at the broken brick until he forgot about the nine hundred and ninety-nine bricks that had been arranged well.
"Just because of one mistake you made, you feel bad and forget the nine hundred and ninety-nine good things you did. Rion, you are a good person, a good man, a good brother, and you are a good king." Odette looked at the window, through the gap in the open curtain.
Outside, there were several people chatting happily.
"Do you see those people?" she said, which made Rion turn his head, to follow Odette's gaze, and he saw the same thing Odette saw. "They can laugh happily like that because of you, and they can sleep well at night because of you."
Rion was stunned and looked back at Odette.
