When Cargan returned from the bath, he found the blue-haired one scrunched up on the bed, weeping.
His heart lurched seeing her in such a state. He hurried to her. "Why? What is making you shed tears, Blue-haired one?" He circled his wet hands around her.
"Y— your eminence." She hiccuped, face stained with tears. "Does the death of your brothers not mean the death of all Tree and Water Line descendants? The death of Giada?"
Oh, right. There would have been a mass death had it not been for her existence. She had no idea how many people she was saving with every breath that she took.
He placed her head on his lap and caressed her hair. "No, Blue-haired one. The bonds have been severed. My and my brothers' existence does not determine the divine citizen's lives anymore. A new dawn is upon us."
"Wow…" She gasped. "Really?"
"Yes."
"B — but then, Matron Valentina is dead, you say?"
"Yes."
