Runa visited Niels several times. The name Konrad still felt awkward on her tongue, but she kept telling herself that Niels was no more, and what was left for her was Konrad.
She couldn't understand if his persistently cold behavior was because he was still in shock or because he disliked her presence that much. Niels would prefer to remain silent when Runa recounted everything she went through, as well as her plan. He often ignored her when she asked him questions too.
"I found a loophole. I might be able to approach the Zamek family," Runa said. She was hoping for a reaction.
Runa would avenge Ansgar's attempt to murder Niels, whether Niels consented to it or not. She didn't need a compliment or some kind of gratitude from Niels. She did it out of her own will. However, she wished Niels would see what she had done for him.
She wished Niels would acknowledge her.
