章 953: Banquet [1]

Astoria broke down once she felt Damien's warmth. She didn't cry or shout, but she dug herself into him and trembled, unable to find a way to properly express the emotions inside her.

The sadness was minimal, as of those who died, none were close to her. One of them was even the 4th Prince who'd caused her so much trouble when she first met Damien.

The main emotion plaguing her mind was frustration.

Frustration that even after she worked so hard to gain so much strength, she still wasn't able to contribute to her family and fight by their side.

Damien sighed. In terms of the conflict itself, it was true that Astoria had no involvement at all. Yet, her nonaggressive contribution of restoring the Fate Clouds did far more for the world's safety than any of the slaughter and death taking place elsewhere.
