A Final Farewell

Erica assumed that something terrible had happened to Julius's wife, and he had trouble trying to find the words to say. No man on earth should ever suffer such horror and shame because of how much he will take. Julius needed to go back to Midland's castle to finish everything and take his rightful place as king. He had to take the crown away from King Harald, even if he had to push everyone aside to make it possible. Lenora could see that he was sweating and burning up as half of his mind believes he should not tell Erica anything.

"My wife... is dead. My daughter... she's nowhere to be found. Everywhere I go, it seems as if I lead people to their demise," Julius said.

"I... I'm very sorry to hear that. I... wish I had more things to say to her," Erica said.

"No. It is you whom I ask for forgiveness. Not for what I've done, but for what I'm about to do," he said.
