Back then, it was through the wise words of the retired Emperor Idelfonso and the timely birth of Kazimir and Antoine that somehow brought the light on Valentin's face.
Slowly, his heart, which he forcefully closed, obtained cracks that enabled his heart to warm up. It would just take a little push to help him open it again.
That final blow was delivered by her, Tehila, whom Emperor Valentin refused to confront.
Now, she is going to do it again because she knows, a person cannot heal by themselves properly. There's someone who had to step up to encourage and help him recover.
Strengthening her heart, she took a deep breath and slowly walked towards the dazed Valentin.
Seeing his back which carried burdens and sustained wounds of life, Queen Tehila stretched her arms, hugging him from behind.
She felt his body go still and relax upon realizing that it was her.
