Chapter 169: Forgiveness

The Queen of Fairies smiled, quickly petting Nieve's head.

"Dear, there is no problem. Things were away from your expectations; it is not your fault that this has happened because of her. We had already analyzed everything, and it even seemed as if Florie wasn't being herself." Said the Queen. "Is that right, Planta?"

The Queen looked at me as I nervously nodded.

"Y-Yes! That's right, she wasn't being herself, I was able to purify a darkness seeping within her body. There was also a curse I ended breaking. It seems she was being manipulated by the Snake Queen." I said, quickly looking at Nieve while trying to relieve her.

"She was being manipulated?" Asked Nieve in confusion.

"W-Well, you were also able to notice it while fighting, right?" I asked.

"Y-Yeah, there was something within her…" Sighed Nieve.
