Chapter 492: The System's History: The start of the end IV

"My wish huh…?" Tora lightly chuckled at the old man's sudden question.

It was quite silly to be asked for someone's wish, especially if it came from a peasant like him. Regardless, for some unknown reason, Tora wondered, and images of Aki and Churu during their last several months together flashed across her eyes.

"If someone asked me before, I'd say the peace of this nation. However, perhaps, I am no different from the rest and I am as selfish as them." Looking at the unconscious man she knocked down, a glint of bitterness flashed across her eyes. "Because right now, what I just wanted, was for my kin to meet an honest person — no," She paused as it reminded her that she was never that honest to Aki as well.

She hid the fact that she was the general of this nation and even used a false name; just like what he had done. If only she and Aki were transparent since day one, they might have saved themselves from this heartache. However, it was all too late.
