Chapter 50
‘Yes, I should be grateful just to have come this far.’
She, who had been in Abgrund, should feel gratitude simply for gaining a foothold in the noble world.
As Emmett said, perhaps Liv was meant to remain in Abgrund. Because she could never truly intermingle with others.
So she should be thankful to live in this bright, beautiful world, and not dare seek more. She should accept the insults from people, not seek their affection. She shouldn’t dare hope for love from the one she loves. Even if Emmett despised her, she should be satisfied with merely being able to see him. Organizing her thoughts that way, strangely, Liv felt a sense of relief.
Beloved child.
We will always love you.
Even the gods’ love, which had always felt burdensome, now seemed welcome.
Since she realized she could never truly be among humans, the only ones who truly cared for her were the gods themselves.
Even after Emmett rejected her, Liv followed him with a bright smile. Though she pursued him one-sidedly, she was content to simply love Emmett, even if he didn’t return her love. For love was meant to be that way, as the gods had taught her.
And when Emmett faced a life-threatening crisis, Liv realized she had to take action. She would have to utilize the most precious thing she could offer.
Her very life itself.
-Your Grace, everything will be alright... Although you’ll have to suffer a bit, it’s okay... If you go back, you won’t die.
