"... You're right, Ravenna."
Ronger said firmly, "We will definitely have a better future, and you no longer need to make any sacrifices for this."
"Firearms, floating cannons, and all those miscellaneous things... let them rust and rot in the corner of the warehouse."
Ronger didn't know how long it had been since she had seen Ravenna's smile. Although it was very faint and could hardly be called a smile, the vitality that the petite girl showed in that moment deeply touched her heart.
Ronger, Hendrik... and many others, many of Eileen's students, knew Ravenna when she was very young.
In a sense, she and Hendrik have somewhat replaced the position of Ravenna's parents.
When this moment came, when that heavy burden could finally be lifted from the petite girl who was still a child in her eyes, the throbbing in Ronger's heart made her somewhat uncontrollable, doing something that Ravenna didn't like on ordinary days.
