"I'd rather die than see you die."
Ruri murmured, resting her head on Almia's chest. To her, Almia was practically more important than her own life. So, there was no way Ruri could actually fight against her.
Almia sighed and, after a few seconds, spoke softly: "It took me a long time, but I finally found all the killers of my family. Huuya, your older sister is begging. Give me this chance to live. I want to get my revenge."
"Okay. If I can use my life in exchange for yours, I'm willing. But... we can never see each other again..." Ruri murmured, willing to die but reluctant to part ways.
Alm and Bruno felt a great pain, knowing she couldn't escape this. However, they knew Ruri well and understood how to motivate her and get her recognized by the Blade of Devotion. Unfortunately, it wouldn't be in a smooth and painless way...
