The moment she heard I’d returned to the sanctuary, she immediately got on a carriage to see me.

Her pristine, elegant figure appeared, and I couldn’t help but call out warmly, “Mother!”

Or should I say “Madam”…?

I hesitated for a moment, realizing what I had just said.

Catching my uncertainty, Rearwin gave a faint, bittersweet smile.

“Thank you for coming back safely from the Demon Realm. I never imagined you’d be caught up in Magi. I thought you were simply delayed from coming home for other reasons. How difficult must it have been for you?”

“….”

Mother.

Her words caused a lump to form in my throat, and my vision blurred with tears.

“How difficult must it have been?”

That simple question broke me apart.

She had unknowingly touched the most fragile part of me.

“I’m sorry. I’m so sorry….”

Drip.

I lowered my head as tears fell against my will.@@novelbin@@
