Dice laughed heartily and spread his hands, "That's right, it was our Commander. He was just a noob Priest back then, said he was going to Hover City to help Her Highness the Saintess. I thought he was boasting at the time, but who would have thought, in such a short time, that kid actually became the boss and he's doing a bang-up job."
"The Black Vatican Priest is very impressive. If it weren't for him..."
I was just about to say a few good words about the boss when Dice waved his hand to interrupt me.
"I know, I know all about it."
He shook his head and sighed deeply, "I was just thinking, if he... or if one of those two Saintesses had come a bit earlier, that child might not have had to die."
I was at a loss for words again...
Dice didn't go on because there are no 'what-ifs' in this world.
