Val's silver eyes never left Valan's body, which was lying in a special room. Val had already checked Elyna and Triqi's condition. Now, it was Val's turn to see how his biological son was doing.
Val rubbed Valan's cheek slowly. Cold. Val had never imagined that there would be a day when he would see his son lying like an empty doll. His body seemed soulless, only with the medical equipment attached to his body, Val was sure that Valan could still be healthy again.
Val knew he was wrong if he intended to kill Tritan just for his son. However, Val couldn't bear to ignore his son's condition just like that. Val had to choose one of them, and he still set his heart on it.
Val closed his eyes. The sound of the crowd's screams waiting for their duel reached his ears. Val had to get out before Elyna or Triqi were free from Georgio's magic.
Val stroked Valan's hair once, then left the sterile room with a firm heart.

"Tritan..."
