[: Daniel POV :]
As Zena wept in my embrace, her tears wetted my robe, and she began to narrate the life she had led in the Immortal Realm.
"All my life, I trained tirelessly, striving to fulfill the wishes of my clan members and even my parents"
"But why... in the end, I was betrayed?"
Her cries resonated loudly.
"Was it because my efforts weren't enough?"
"Did I fail to satisfy their expectations?"
"Why did they kill me and obliterate everything I had worked for? It's just so unjust..."
Despite the centuries that had passed since the betrayal, the pain and resentment she carried were still raw.
She had never been given the opportunity to seek her revenge, and the injustice of it all weighed heavily on her heart.
Her situation had undergone a profound transformation, and I reassured her with unwavering conviction.
"Don't worry. As long as I'm here, no one's going to betray you"
