Epilogue

She brushed the debris off herself and saw the blue sky stretching endlessly before her She smelled the air after rain, but there was still dust everywhere Still, the air smelled of rain

Leerin didn't knohat to say as she watched the sky Alsheyra had pulled her out of the debris Everything looked very tragic, but Saya had protected her so Leerin was not injured Even her clothes showed no stain

And Saya had wordlessly handed her soe

The eyepatch

”Ah, thanks”

She wasn't clear on where she had put it after taking it off Perhaps she lost it somewhere and Saya had picked it up for her, or perhaps this was a new eyepatch She couldn't tell

The eyepatch was proof of her unusual right eye

She couldn't return to her old self now that she earing it

So

”It's not possible, Layfon” she said to Layfon as standing opposite her

”Leerin!”

He ran without heed for the palace after seeing it collapse He orried for Leerin's safety and he wanted to save her His wish for her true feelings, the disappearance of the s mattered to him All he wanted was to see Leerin He shi+vered when he saw the wreckage that was the palace and thought she was inside it

He saw the Queen and an unfairl climb out of the debris, followed by Leerin just when he wanted to ask for Felli's help

”Why did you come?”

”Why”

He was speechless at her question

No, he knew she was refusing hi this for his sake? Or not He understood Leerin's feelings when he saw the mirror in his father's face that was full of murderous intent

Still, he had arrived

HeIf he didn't, then everything he had done so far orthless Derek's injury and his own tolerance of the painful memories would have all beco

Perhaps this was the only chance left to hi

”You shouldn't be standing here anyive him a chance

”Your power isn't omnipotent, so you're not necessary to this city and to me”

”Leerin”

”I'h Why didn't you return when you saw father?”

”I!”

He wanted to overco him with many words He called If he didn't, he probably wouldn't be able to say anything Ita blindfold because her eye was injured? It made her face look different from his memory She was very cal no matter what he was to say

”I, I want to know your thought Not father's, but fro I can do” he said as he sloalked over to her His life would have been like a candle in the wind if the Queen wished it, so it didn't matter that he held no weapon He tossed away the Sapphire Dite and slowly approached her with ar I can do If there's anything I can do for you, I”

”For me?” she walked towards hi

”For ht the enemies for ht for s? Because we're both orphans, that we both grew up in the sae? But I already know of my identity and who my parents are My father is Herder Eutnohl My mother is Meifar Stadt I'm not a Marfes anymore I'm now Leerin Eutnohl, a member of Grendan's three royal families Will you still protect me? I'm not part of your family anymore”

”I”

”Layfon Who am I to you?”

Layfon felt that what he wanted to say was beco more and more inco before her words Why did he want to protect her and save her? His words had suddenly lost theirout

One as being slowly dug out after everything was taken froh to face death He thought everything would turn positive if he could grab hold of it, and he felt it was a very si as he took hold of it, he felt that she would smile nohim a cold expression he had never seen before Perhaps ti with Toby and Derek

But nothing had caught up

Leeirn's face appeared before hi She just placed her hands on his cheeks The feeling of her fingertips conquered his face Her eyesthe eyepatch She was so close that he could even see the pattern on it

Their lips overlapped
