"About your identity?", Edel released her wrist. The lady just realized he's been holding her. "Your Highness. My apologies that it is something I cannot discuss with you. You may chop off my head if you want to", she said with a serious tone. "Neit...

One day, you will understand why you have to wield the sword. You're not just a weapon of the Empire. You're not just a tool to erase those that go against His Majesty. You're a human capable of finding reasons.
