#completed!!! In her second life, I want Sophia to choose the path she desires and live well and happily," Ragnar said to Adeline, who immediately burst into tears. "Then... what about you, Your Highness?" Adeline asked. Ragnar only smiled. “This is enough for me.” Among the many forms of love, Adeline had to witness the most genuine and sacrificial kind. That was, letting go. ~~~ What if, in truth, I was the cause of her suffering? What if my actions were the source of her pain? Perhaps it was time for me to let her go. There was nothing to be done.

"But I endure it because Ragnar thinks I deserve it!" Sophia interrupted. "I just don't know why, and you two won't tell me, will you?"
Lea looked down, her tears flowing freely.
"Your Majesty, we… we swore an oath. We are bound by it."
