Prisoners (03)

Since the battle was over, I called back the girls from the Kingdom.

Elizabeth made a report telling me that both girls had come to their senses, but I couldn't suppress my feelings. I wouldn't be satisfied until I saw them with my own eyes.

Their figures appeared in front of me almost immediately after I sent the request, in that moment, all the anxiety in my heart transformed into a bursting stream that I couldn't contain.

They tried to apologize, but...

Licia: "...Sorry Miwen, I wasn't expecting-"

Claire: "I should have burned them from the start-"

I ended up not allowing them to finish their sentences.

I couldn't care less about any of that.

The only thing in my mind was...

Miwen: "I'm glad you two are back."

Losing them even if for only a moment was a devastating blow to me.
