"You've proven yourself to be sohly capable," Raphael smiled "What I did in the Merfolk realiven to you And as for what I expect fro froain with a chuckle "Then why are you still here?"

Raphael's heart pounded "I"

A sudden pained cry echoed in the infirmary once more—Rowena's eyes widened and she immediately ran back into the infirmary Raphael quickly followed

When she arrived, all of the royal guards were present as they tried to separate the King fro at Julian's bed, holding his hand It see only held it back in when Roas around, but now the 's side, a hand on his father's back and a contemptuous look at the royal doctor

Rowena stared at the scene unco? His voice will disturb Julian from his sleep Gosh!+ Hey, Your Majesty can you please keep it down?"

"Child" the doctor began uneasily

"I mean he took a nap, but there's no need to cry over that—" Rowena's smile finally slipped away as she noticed the look that Liaave her when she turned to look at him for support

There was a look of pity and sorrow on their faces, and it was directed at herRowena looked down on the floor where numerous droplets splattered the infired to her

Tears unconsciously streamed down her faceNo matter how much Rowena insisted that Julian only fell asleep, the royal doctor confir—the reality was that Julian was already dead

Unable to accept it, and in a state of utter denial—Rowena couldn't even feel that she had been crying alreadyThe king of Verona uish upon the realization that he lost his son, but Rowena's heart was already torn that she didn't even realize that she eeping

She couldn't accept it

"No" Rowena shook her head and gave the smile "Julian is—"

Gone

And it was all her fault

Rowena's fingers clawed through her hair, she grabbed and twisted theh her throat

"I thought it was enough, but I failed hiant to think I could do it? How did I ever believe that I could do so she could to save hiot him the panacea—but he still died

"It's not your fault," Raphael tried to say "Rowena please, don't bla else, then s would have been different"

And yet what else could she have d

one?

So s, in fact

She could have listened to him when he said that they should leaveShe could have returned his feelings and then maybe they wouldn't have to end up in this state

Hoas this not her fault?

"Rowena," Liaaze fell on the of Verona and his son Oh yes, if they hadn't been such a terrible family, Julian would have stayed alive wouldn't he?

She laughed

If this wasn't her fault then…

"IT'S ALL YOUR FAULT" Rowena lunged for them
