章 200: Loriel Is A Petty Man

Loriel should have known that the truth always came out. Didn't these past 15 centuries teach him anything?

Elise's letter contained her apologies and reasoning as to why she needed to go and discover her past, but even Loriel himself had words of apologies to say. Far much more than Elise ever knew.

"I'm sorry as well, I can't just take your word for it and wait for you to return, Elise," Loriel said at last. It was something against Elise's wishes, but he couldn't just sit here and wait for her to return at all. 

By the time that ever happened, Loriel was sure that Elise wouldn't have it in her heart to forgive him instead. Everything that he ever did would come to the light and even his own acts of marrying Elise now would seem nothing like but a despicable thing to do.
