A shocking thing happened the moment the Emperor watched his daughter's transformation and sudden attack: his lips trembled, and the dull colour of his eye returned to the golden shine that Ciela remembered as a little girl.
"Lala?" A nostalgic tone, voice and gaze... Ciela looked upon her father's confused face and realised something from his trembling hand covering his face and the frustration of the Concubine beside him that something wasn't right. 'When did father last call me my pet name?'
A feeling of warmth spread through her chest, not because she forgave his acts, but because Ciela realised that something wasn't right and to save her father.
"Lala... you may go, tell your mother to return, safety. How could Sarina be sent to fight... it doesn't make sense."
