"Thank you, Father…"
In a voice filled with strange relief, she expressed her gratitude and went to sleep. Kael was taken aback.
At first, he just thought that Vitaria pitied Lavinia and took her side, but seeing her trembling body and how she went to sleep as he comforted her, Kael felt like there was more to it than just pity.
And it wasn't just him,
"She is acting strangely…"
Imperia commented as she stared at her sister. Since the two were born on the same day, she was closer to Vitaria compared to the others, even if the difference was somewhat negligible.
"Indeed. It was almost as if… she was not talking about that girl but… someone else."
Igni observed, narrowing his eyes as he stared at his baby sister sleeping in her father's arms. Even Cirri, who would usually not leave a chance to shoot a jab at Vitaria, observed silently.
"Who could she possibly be talking about?"
Kael questioned.
The words 'you put her in a position where she could now lose again' scared him.
