The door to Selenia’s house opened slowly. Outside if found a woman, visibly as young as the princess. The long and brown hair styled in two large braids, dressed in a purple dress and the forehead wearing a tiara, this minimoy as pretty as her cousin was nevertheless unpleasantly surprised when seeing the pitiful state of Selenia. The eyes of the unhappy princess were all red because of the tears she had shed and she seemed very weak. No wonder, since she hadn’t eaten for two days.
"Hello Gwidalia, I had forgotten your arrival today in the village." She greeted with a voice bearing all the physical and mental fatigue of these last days.
"Selenia, are you okay? Everyone is worried about you right now, the whole village is a little agitated with what I’ve been told." asked Gwidalia with concern.
"Yes, yes I am well... There is nothing to worry about..." replied Selenia who wanted to be as reassuring as possible.
"Can I come in, so we can discuss it together?" her cousin adds.
At this request, Selenia seemed a little confused. She glanced behind her and fully realized the slaughter she had been in for two days.
"Uh... it’s just that... I am not yet ready to receive people in my home..." she said embarrassed and hesitant before seeing the insistent look of Gwidalia who stood before her with her arms crossed.
"Okay fine..." replied Selenia with resignation before indicating the entrance to her cousin.
Gwidalia took a few steps before entering Selenia’s house. Once inside, she stopped, horrified by the scene that stood in front of her: the house of Selenia was completely upside down, everything that served as decoration lay broken on the ground, and some furniture was on the ground. Only the bed and a few other pieces of furniture remained, visibly spared by the anger and despair of their owner two days before.
"What... What happened here?" asked Gwidalia, appalled by this vision of pure chaos.
"Yes, excuse me..." tried to answer Selenia. "I tried to warn you that I could not receive people for now... But don’t worry, everything will be settled before..."
"Selenia" asked Gwidalia, looking her straight in the eye and imterrompant her in these vain explanations. "Are you sure you’re okay?"
When she saw her cousin’s uneasy gaze, Selenia felt the tears rise again. At that moment, she knew that she could not hide anything from her. She had to tell her everything.
"No..." replied Selenia. "No, I’m not okay."
She could no longer restrain herself and burst into tears again in front of Gwidalia. The latter made her way through the debris to her cousin, in order to take her in her arms and console her. After several minutes of trying to calm Selenia down, she finally managed to do so and said again:
"Come now, let’s sit here. You will tell me everything," she asked Selenia, pointing at her bed. She guided her cousin to the bed and invited her to sit down.

"I see," Gwidalia replied, after listening to Selenia recount everything that had happened from the beginning. The story lasted just under an hour. She had evoked her pain after seeing Arthur go back to his world to face M the Evil, she had told her very first encounter with Eldarion, as well as all the other events until his last quarrel with him.
"I told him some really terrible things, and in doing so, I revived one of his old wounds. I shouldn’t have behaved like that." admitted Selenia with a shot. " I offended Eldarion, disappointed my family and my people, and even my husband may never come back because of my attitude towards him years ago now."
Gwidalia made her understand to stay quiet by putting her finger on her lips. Then she said:
"Selenia, regarding the nyrilorn, know that you have disrespected each other, and each of you has broken the other’s heart. You’re both at fault here. But I think instead of looking for a culprit or moping around, you should try to forgive each other. Talk to each other, get to know each other really and understand each other, express what is on your heart and seek to help each other.
