"Wes, you were not a knight but an official who swore to live by conscience and good faith. Even if the road ahead is steep and treacherous, if you know it's the right one, just go there. Please try not to be a shameful parent to our child."
Those were the words of his wife who, putting Blair's ring in his hand, advised him that he should be a proud father of her baby.
If she had lived to this day and discovered this, she would have been willing to risk her life on the battlefield like Marianne. She would not have left him hesitating until now.
"If I force you to flee from this fight, can you respect my decision? If I die and you survive, can you live happily for the rest of your life?"
Marianne reached out and touched her father's cheeks wet with tears.
"You told me that someday the truth would be revealed, that what I was doing was the right thing, right?"
She wiped away her father's tears and held his hands with a smile.
"Let's do the right thing together."
"… Marie."
