Helois sobbed softly.
Watching the flames that enveloped the prince, Helois also hoped he could let go of her. It didn't matter if she died, as long as the prince could survive.
Even though that's what she thought in her heart, she couldn't help but feel a bitter ache.
But, perhaps Helois couldn't be blamed for this.
After all, when Diaberlic abandoned Helois, he did so with such decisiveness. Watching the Fire Python rising from the ground, despite his considerable strength, he chose not to intercept or resist at all. He simply released Helois, abandoned her, and let his childhood sweetheart be engulfed by the crimson magma.
If, at that time, Diaberlic had shown even a hint of hesitation or a sign of pain, Helois might not have felt so terrible, and the sense of being discarded wouldn't have been so strong.
Perhaps, this is just how women are.
