In Angelina's farmhouse, Jaegar lay motionless on the bed, covered in bandages.
The three women in the room, Angelina, Jacqualine, and Vivianne, were gathered around him.
Jaegar appeared as if he were merely asleep, his face at peace. However, the extent of the healing was limited, he was all bandaged, and the wounds seemed severe. The last attack did quite a number on him.
The response from the Imperial House and the Emperor had been far from what anyone expected.
They had reacted with indifference to the news of Jaegar's supposed death, requesting only that he receive a proper burial.
This lack of concern had infuriated Vivianne and Jacqueline to the point where they had left the palace to be by Jaegar's side.
In stark contrast, Angus, who had not returned after learning of his son's fate, seemed indifferent to the situation, a reaction that puzzled everyone.
