It took nearly two hours for Evangeline to watch the life I had lived as Taranis.
When the memory ended, tears trickled from her gem-like blue eyes.
I didn't say anything, letting her process the emotional whiplash. She must have felt betrayed upon learning that I already had two wives.
After nearly a minute of processing what she had seen, Evangeline finally spoke, "That was so... tragic and sad."
She turned her eyes to me and whispered, "You have suffered so much, My Lord."
I was expecting tears of betrayal, anger, or outright refusal to believe these memories. I had already prepared myself for such scenarios, but this? The unforeseen statement struck me far harder than anything I had anticipated.
Perhaps it was because these words came from my wife that I only then realised how much I wanted to hear them.
"Y-yes, I have," I agreed with her, lowering my eyes. For just this once, I didn't want to keep up a strong front. I wanted to rely on her.
