Quite a dilemma! Wivior was to pick his wedding gift among two things that reeked of evil. Even though Lilith wasn't there, she had played her part by bequeathing Elvira possessions that would forever remind her of the brutality she had no choice but to witness and participate in silently.
Wivior's smile was bright, but he couldn't conceal his disgust as he watched Leona gleefully wave the objects in the air. It must be harder for him than it was for Elvira. Unfortunately, she couldn't save him that time. To finish their wedding ceremony, a choice needed to be made.
"I accept the sword," Wivior revealed, and the sound of applause reverberated around the hall.
"Here," said Leona to Elvira, extending the sword. Her proud manner made it seem as if it were a prized possession.
In anguish, Elvira received it and gave it to the new owner. Wivior quickly passed it to Cornelius and returned to her with a thankful smile.
