He is definitely not innocent!

Aether hugged her tightly!

Aqualina blinked, momentarily stunned, before trying to push him away, "W-Why are you hugging me? N-No love—" Her protest was cut short as Aether, his voice low and intense, firmly whispered, "S-Sorry... I-I've always loved you... before, now, and until my last breath... Aqualina." He held her tightly, his embrace conveying a depth of emotion that words could barely touch.

Her eyes widened in shock, then softened, her lips curving into an inward smile, 'YEAH!!!' she screamed inwardly, elation flooding her.

She wrapped her arms around him, holding him close as her true, joyful tears spilled over.

At this moment, she wanted to shout to the world that this man, this wonderful, loyal man, was hers and hers alone!!!!

Especially to that Elven Bitch who had stolen his love.

'Hmph!! What can that bitchy old hag do now?' Aqualina thought triumphantly, a victorious expression spreading across her face.
