章 1017: Khimav

In a room illuminated by soft blue light from aquatic vines hanging at the stone walls, an overbearing Giant walked towards a pedestal with slow steps.

A transparent casket big enough to house a family of four lay upon the pedestal, covered in beautiful bright flowers. It was shrouded in a gloomy air of tranquility, bringing out hints of melancholy and quiet from the onlookers.

The Giant stood before the casket and stared at the person inside it with an aged expression. His eyes were hollow and he seemed to have significantly become paler.

This was the current Chief of Giants, Khimav — the strongest Giant in the world.

"Yvonne…"

Khimav called out in absolute tenderness, afraid that even his voice might hurt her. 

Within the casket was a sleeping Giant lady with blonde hair. Her complexion didn't seem odd and she appeared normal, but reality was far from that.
