Romanoff Dukedom: Repentance (20)

If he was truly given the chance to turn back time, he would have stopped himself from killing Erwin. He was aware that it would be selfish of him, but not having Erwin by his side was the most painful thing that ever happened to him.
"Erwin, what is that you want?" Ius asked, his voice trembling with both fear and sadness, "Are you going to blame me for your death? Are you going to tell me that I was also wrong to have killed you?"
Strangely enough....
No, it wouldn't be strange.
Ius was willing to accept whatever criticism that Erwin threw at him. It was far from how he treated the criticisms he had gotten from the Duke and Duchess.
