After the whole story was finally revealed, Merry could only say "I'm so sorry, Lucian. It sounds really unfortunate, but...someone knew about this, and decided to tell the Goddess of Justice. She then sent her messenger...and they are relentless."
Cadrel nodded. "Quieter than breath and utterly silent. He didn't speak a word."
Alice tilted her head, a little confused. "Can't we protect Lucian?"
It caused Lucian pain to hear her voice, like it was the most natural thing to do.
Merry patted her shoulder and said gently, "The Messenger can't be reasoned with. He was made to close situations where someone did not receive their due justice."
"And the Loom already let me know what...could happen. If I didn't help myself."
He couldn't help feeling it was a little unfair, to be honest.

It bothered him enough to disrupt Lucian's sleep.
I thought that was correcting the injustice? I died in the last world. Is that not enough? Velrithane was supposed to be a new start for me.
