"Your Holiness—I mean, Lady Astrea. Are you sure about this? You will be alone with Rasmus and his people," Lenin asked as she looked at Astrea sitting on the edge of the bed, staring blankly at the stone wall. "Novia heard his conversation with Commander Arka, and I have told you about it. That's the kind of person he is, and you still want me to go back with him even after knowing that?"
Astrea kept staring at the wall, taking her time before she decided to answer the question.
"It's my choice, Great Sage. I don't hold any influence or power anymore. I just want to live for Aurelia, that's all," Astrea answered as she looked at Lenin. "I have served my whole life to God and only go God. I want to spend the rest of my life for my daughter now," she continued with a soft smile on her face.
