Valerian did not hesitate in the duty he was given. He worked quietly but quickly. After the people ate, the followers of mercy sat down to eat. They were all considerate to each other and left the portion for the people who could not arrive because of their duties.
Valerian still had a few dishes to clean and did not join them, but Altamash sat down on the table with Solaria and asked hushedly, "Will you not call him?"
Solaria shook her head. She had no such intention of showing this child any mercy. In her eyes, everyone was the same, but this child had blood on his hands, so he needed to work harder. Altamash had explained to her why Valerian did what he did. However, the lady did not buy it. She could not believe that a young man would be so cruel.
