Chapter 151
-It’s an incantation drug of happiness. They say that people drink this when their minds have been damaged and devastated because of all the suffering in their life.
-…
-It’s a drug that can ease the pain…. And it can make them happy and help them not make any choices they’ll regret.
-…Thank you. Thank you, Aerni.
Someone’s hand lightly touched Aerni’s shoulder as she recalled some of her old memories. It was Rosica.
“Mom.”
“Oh… yes…” Aerni put on a concerned face after she snapped out of her thoughts.
“Is it… is it really okay for you to be so free? We are in the middle of a war.”
“I told you not to worry about me. Are you worried because of that?”
“Huh? No, it’s not that…”
Rosica sat down next to her, staring at Aerni as she lowered her eyes. “Mom.”
“Yes.”
“You’re not feeling sympathy for that person, are you?”
“What?”
“I’m talking about Duchess Frania.”
It was a sharp and unexpected question. Aerni avoided eye contact and shook her head with a grimace.
